Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 398 Ultimate Huawei Mobile Phone and Mobile Games
In fact, Boiling Technology, which is in charge of R&D and production of Huawei mobile phones, is not short of money now. Fang Jie’s more than 400 billion funds have arrived in less than a year. In addition, Huawei has also poured tens of billions into it, which cannot be spent for the time being.

In addition, Qualcomm also funded 5000 million US dollars to Boiling Technology.

Among them, 2000 million is free, and 3000 million is a joint venture with Boiling Technology to establish some related accessory production lines.

It's just that the 2000 million US dollars given in vain is not cash, but mobile phone chips of the same value.

Qualcomm plans to allocate 2004 million U.S. dollars in 1 to subsidize Huaguo companies engaged in the development and commercialization of CDMA products, applications and services, because Qualcomm believes that this investment in the Huaguo market will promote The application of CDMA on a global scale.

Obviously, Boiling Technology, jointly built by Boiling Group and Huawei Group with an investment of hundreds of billions, almost represents the future of Huaguo's mobile phone market. The so-called debut is the pinnacle, and of course Qualcomm can't turn a blind eye.

At this moment, Qualcomm is not as monopoly in the smartphone chip market as it was in its previous life. On the contrary, it is still a challenger.

The technical support behind the 3G network is CDMA. Qualcomm's purpose of developing such a technology is very clear, which is to challenge the Symbian system.

The core idea contradiction between Symbian system and other mobile phone systems in the previous life is that Saipan system insists on taking mobile phones as the core, and believes that mobile phone technology is the key, and makes smart phones, while Android and other systems believe that users should be the core, and that smart phones Modernization services are the key, and technology is only for serving users, so the mobile phone is only a medium, and a smartphone can be regarded as a handheld computer, but it can also be a smart watch or smart glasses.

In short, one takes product technology as the core concept, and the other takes user service as the concept. The former obviously has a high threshold and is relatively conservative, while the latter is more market-oriented and human-oriented. End users vote with their feet and abandon the Symbian system.

In fact, the Symbian system is still very powerful, at least it is very practical, the standby time is long and the application program does not freeze, but the technical threshold is high. The more than 2000 million codes in the system make mobile phone software engineers at a loss, and it is difficult to develop supporting application software. .

But it is precisely because of this that the Symbian system can charge dozens of dollars in patent fees for each mobile phone, which belongs to the traditional thinking of the technical barrier charging model. Nokia has tasted a huge sweetness in this, of course, under the influence of inertia Difficult to stop the car.

The best way to break through technical barriers and occupy the market is to use free and open source routines, not only for mobile operating systems such as Android and Apple, but also for other industries.

For example, the difference between traditional card-based online games and non-free online games. The former needs to spend money to play and earn income from game development and production technology, while the latter can be played for free, which is equivalent to the game production technology. The income is given up, and then other value-added services for users are used to make money.

One makes money through technology, and the other makes money through services. This is the fundamental difference.

However, the current Huawei mobile phones, under Fang Jie's instructions, have been rushing to make money from services from the very beginning, and only in this way can they have a chance to overthrow the rule of the Saibai system.

In order to promote the promotion of Huawei mobile phones, the Boiling Group is fully engaged, and almost all the routines have been used. Fang Jie even started the live streaming mode.

Moreover, the performance and quality of Huawei mobile phones are also very good, and many innovative functions are original. The launch of Huawei mobile phones at this time is equivalent to the effect of taking out Apple mobile phones in advance.

As for the effect, the initial stage was good, and the sales volume of mobile phones exceeded 500 million in the first month.

But from the second month onwards, the sales volume began to plummet. Only 200 million units were sold. In the third month, the sales volume was less than 100 million units. By the end of 2004, the monthly mobile phone sales in the whole country remained at around 50 units. .

In other words, within half a year, a total of less than 1000 million Huawei 3G smartphones were sold.

You know, in the previous life in 2019, Huawei sold 2.4 mobile phones a year, so this sales data...

It's actually pretty good.

Because throughout 2004, the combined sales of all mobile phones in the country sold less than 1 million units. As soon as Huawei mobile phones were launched, they took one-tenth of the market share within half a year, which is not a bad result.

It's just that there is still a big gap between this result and Fang Jie's expectation.

He originally thought that after using so many tricks, not to mention occupying the national market, there is still a chance to occupy at least half of it, but the fact is that he was slapped in the face.

Market research and analysis show that the current Chinese people prefer Symbian mobile phones that are more practical. As for smartphones... what the hell?Can I eat, drink and use it?

Even Symbian mobile phones are not practical in the eyes of Chinese people, and PHS with a few hundred dollars is the most cost-effective!

In April 2004, the number of PHS users across the country had reached 4 million, and the number was increasing rapidly at an average rate of more than 5000 million per month!
This data is no less than the growth rate of mobile phone users. Although the number of mobile phone users in the country has reached 1.8 million at this time, it is estimated that within a year or two, Telecom's PHS users will be on par with China Mobile's mobile phone users. Telecom has once again become the real boss of mobile communications.

Well, maybe this is also the reason why PHS was gradually marginalized or even offline in the previous life. Everyone bought PHS. Who would buy our smartphones? How can we make money?
People are still too poor.

When Fang Jie was reborn, a Nokia 3210 was a powerful weapon that would make everyone around him envious, and even make people go online and become evidence of Fang Wanxing's "corruption".

Although the situation has improved a lot now, mobile phones are still not a necessity of life. If it doesn’t work, I use PHS to deal with them. Think about mobile phones and forget them. I can’t bear it!

As for Huawei mobile phones that are rumored to be miraculous at the moment... the big guys can be proud of you, proud of you, but they will not pay for you.

Those who are really willing to pay for Huawei mobile phones are rich people, and most of them are young people with wealthy families or certain income. Most of them are out of pretentious psychology, rather than considering the user services provided by mobile phones. As for The student party can only sigh in amazement at this.

Because the current Huawei mobile phone is similar to the previous Apple mobile phone in many ways.

Advanced fashion, superior performance, powerful functions, outrageously expensive, and then summed up - powerful weapon!
For example, the most expensive "HUAWEI Mate 1.0 Pro" among Huawei series mobile phones, that is, "Huawei top business flagship version", the price is as high as 6888 yuan!
The price is equivalent to a higher configuration home computer!
It is so expensive, of course there is a reason for it. If the same configuration is sold by Nokia, the price can be marked at least 11888.

Since mid-to-late June 2004, a number of foreign mobile phone manufacturers, including NEC, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc., announced to join the battle group of megapixel mobile phones, which triggered a comprehensive follow-up by domestic manufacturers.

LG has also officially introduced its 8-megapixel and 200-megapixel camera phones in South Korea into China for sale since August, and seized the high-end camera phone market with high pixels. The idea of ​​high-end digital cameras vying for the market.

In early June, after completing the integration of Chinese companies, NEC took the lead in announcing the launch of its 6-megapixel camera phone in China.

NEC's move directly promoted the frenzy of foreign brands of mega-pixel camera phones. In less than a week, Nokia's mega-pixel camera phone 7610 began to be supplied to dealers across the country, with a suggested price of 5400 yuan. , basically on par with the European market.

Motorola, Samsung, and LG, the three manufacturers that have won the bid for China Unicom's dual-mode mobile phones, all take megapixels as the main selling point of their dual-mode mobile phones.

At the same time, the popularity of mega-pixel mobile phones has directly led to an avalanche of prices for low-pixel camera phones.

7月3日，索爱宣布把去年的明星机型T618的价格下调到1980元，比一年前3600元的上市价格下降了近一半，而NEC一款30万像素的拍照手机已经从3月份的6000元高价狂跌到现在的3900元。

Compared with foreign brands, the price cuts of domestic brands are even more severe. The 30-pixel camera phones of Konka, TCL, Bird, and Amoi basically all fell below 2000 yuan, and the price of the same type of mobile phones of Dibit was even as low as 1400 yuan.

The price of an ordinary flip phone a year ago can now buy a mainstream 30-pixel camera phone.

And "HUAWEI Mate 1.0 Pro" mobile phone, the camera pixel is not 30, nor 100 million, but a self-developed domestic 300 million high-definition pixel camera!

What is Gaodashang?
That's it!

Directly hang and call all mobile phones in China!

Your Nokia mega-pixel 7610 can sell for 5400 yuan, so my 300-megapixel Huawei mobile phone can sell for 6888, right?

What's more, can your keyboard phone be compared with our touch-screen phone?
Do you dare to compare your small-screen mobile phone with our full-screen mobile phone?
Can your plastic case be equated with our titanium alloy mobile phone case?
Do those pixel games in your mobile phone dare to compete with the high-definition games in our mobile phones?

You can't compare the external conditions, and you can't compare the internal core. Our mobile phone is a dual-core dual-CPU processor, 1 x [email protected] GHz + 1x [email protected] GHz!

It can almost be said that as the first generation of Huawei smartphones, "HUAWEI Mate 1.0 Pro" surpasses all mobile phones on the market in an all-round way, and it belongs to the existence of dimensionality reduction.

Whether it is the appearance style, user-friendly design, user experience and functional application, or performance cores such as memory, processor, and chip, they are all higher than one stage.

The only disadvantage is that Huawei mobile phones only support China Unicom's CDMA network, and do not support China Mobile's GSM network. On the other hand, Symbian mobile phones from other manufacturers have begun to fully support "dual-mode" in the new mobile phone models launched this year, that is, The mobile phone system can work in two network modes: GSM network and CDMA network.

There is no way around this. Boiling Technology has only reached a technical cooperation agreement with China Unicom for the time being, and it is obviously on the side of Qualcomm with CDMA technology. It is not qualified to walk on two legs at the initial stage.

The main difference between these two networks is: the current domestic GSM network has higher coverage, while CDMA, as the mainstream technology of 2.5G, has more advantages in data transmission.

In layman's terms, mobile phones using the CDMA network have faster network speeds, while mobile phones using the GSM network have better signals, and can make and receive calls in remote areas.

However, in the long run, CDMA is the mainstream development trend in the future and the technical foundation of 3G/4G/5G. GSM will be eliminated sooner or later, so Fang Jie thought about it and felt that there is no need to go back.

Anyway, Huawei mobile phones are so tall, so why not!

Perhaps from the point of view of Chinese people's consumption, mobile phones are only used to make and receive calls, why do you need such a high-end mobile phone?

Expensive and impractical!

Just like the Chinese people's attitude towards games, they don't have enough to eat, they don't have time to study, and they still play games. What is it?
But there are some things. It is not a bad thing to set a higher specification, which can become a technical reserve and a driving force for technological innovation.

For example, a 300-megapixel high-definition camera may not be used by ordinary people at present, but since there is such a technical reserve, can it be commercialized first to start the surveillance and security camera industry?
For example, the camera monitoring of Internet cafes, road traffic monitoring systems, such businesses can continue.

Huawei mobile phones may be used for civilian use, and the high-end route has not made much money for the time being, but the commercial value is quite a lot. The new materials and technologies brought about by this will drive the upgrade and development of Boiling Technology and its subsidiary accessories manufacturers, providing While creating more social jobs, it will drive the scientific and technological progress of the entire and related industries.

Some technologies can even be used in the military.

Therefore, the launch of this epoch-making mobile phone is not just a simple smartphone. Many advanced technologies contained in it can be applied to all aspects of society, and it is not only Huawei and the boiling technical staff who are involved in the research and development of these technologies. It also includes multiple scientific research teams from telecommunications, mobile, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Academy of Social Sciences.

Of course, Fang Jie only knows about many things in it, but he will not intervene. He is only responsible for contributing money and efforts to help sell products, and by the way, do a good job in the game application business he is responsible for.

In terms of mobile game software applications, Boiling Games launched five game software products at one time.

Among them are the mobile phone stand-alone versions of "My World" and "My Origin".

When developing the end game versions of these two games, the mobile version was also produced by the way. Anyway, it was a matter of convenience, the changes were not big, and it didn't take much trouble.

The second is to move the classic game "Snake" from the Symbian system to the Hongmeng system.

In fact, it is not considered to be ported from the Symbian system, because "Snake" was originally an arcade game. Strictly speaking, there is no copyright of the work. "Snake" in Nokia mobile phones is just an optimized version.

However, "Snake" in Huawei mobile phones has undergone earth-shaking changes from the Nokia version of "Snake" under the design and planning of Fang Jie and the support of the unique intelligent system of Huawei mobile phones.

The original version of "Snake" is just a blue pixel game with a small screen, but now "Snake Fight" in Huawei mobile phones has exquisite textures and a large-screen game interface.

If Nokia's latest 5000 mobile phone, which has just launched and sells for more than 7610 yuan, is also equipped with such a game, not to mention that it cannot display such an exquisite picture, the mobile phone will not move at all, okay?

The Huawei mobile phone runs this game very smooth and lubricated. The Nokia is moving from one square to another. Here, the grid is not felt at all. The player controls the snake with his fingers and twists it as he wants. Twisting, like playing a computer game.

You must know that when Nokia just ported the game "Snake" to mobile phones, as a built-in game, it can be said to have achieved the myth of Nokia's mobile phone sales.

Under the influence of this game, even if it is conservatively estimated, at least 6110 million Nokia mobile phones with built-in "Snake" were wiped out in the market in the year when the Nokia 3 was released, and even a considerable number of users chose Nokia 6110 is the reason, because you can play this "Snake".

Now that Fang Jie has fully optimized and redesigned "Snake" in Huawei mobile phones, it has also exploded in sales. The reason why such an expensive mobile phone can still sell nearly [-] million units in China is inseparable from this game .

Many people were reluctant to buy Huawei mobile phones at first, because they saw people around them always using Huawei mobile phones to pretend to be aggressive, and playing "Snake" in front of them from time to time.

At first they were envious of borrowing it to take a look, but as long as they played "Snake", they couldn't let it go.

Instantly addicted.

But what if the mobile phone belongs to someone else?
I can only grit my teeth and buy one myself.

Think of it as buying a computer and returning home. Anyway, this phone can not only make calls, but also play construction games like "Minecraft", simulator hang-up games like "My Origin", and "Snake". This is a mentally handicapped game that you can't stop playing.

In addition, it also supports 3G network, you can use your mobile phone to surf the Internet, you can log in to 51mai for shopping, you can log in to online bank transfer, you can log in to QQ, and you can even watch live video and movies online...

Well, the temporary experience of online video is not very good, it is a bit stuck, and the cost is a bit expensive, but on the mobile phone game platform, it is not a problem to download various small games to play.

Especially the latest mobile game "National Love Elimination" launched by Boiling Games on the platform, which is even more magical than the game "Snake". I dare not play anymore, for fear of wasting time.

As for the game "National Love Elimination", whenever you have time, even if you have a little intermittent free time, you can't help but open it and play it.

And in this game, the game data and "My Origin" are actually linked.

That is to say, "All Love Elimination" is also a technology tree that seems to have no end in sight. Every technology node on the technology tree needs to be lit up by clearing the game. After being lit, it can bring "My Origin" technology tree. The bonus of technology point growth!

"My Origin" was originally a popular science game with a long and leisurely upgrade process. After it has developed to a certain level, it needs a lot of technology points to upgrade or light up new technology illustrations, and the accumulation of these technology points can only be accumulated by time. Games are also accumulating.

Often in the middle of the game, open once a day to harvest technology points, light up or upgrade 1 or 2 illustrations, and there is nothing to do. Therefore, players are very curious about the development of technological civilization and popular science knowledge in the later period, and it is difficult to speed up the efficiency of game upgrades. .

Now "Elimination of All People's Love" can actually bring attribute bonuses to "My Origin", and it is done through the game, which gives everyone a super motivation for the game.

Of course, the game itself is also very playable, and it is a very suitable game to pass the boring time.

In addition, there are many small games on the boiling mobile game platform, such as chess and card games, Zuma games, billiard games, etc., all of which are carried over from Lianzhong Games. mobile phone users sitting together playing cards and chatting.

Although these mobile games are only very rudimentary small games due to the limitations of mobile phone performance and cannot reach the level of end games, they are enough to be obsessed or even crazy for the majority of mobile phone users across the country.

You must know that among these mobile phone users, many of them are not netizens, and quite a few are not gamers, and many are even parents of students with certain financial conditions.

The purpose of their buying Huawei mobile phones may be because they are not short of money, or to show off, or they are equipped by the unit.

What's more, I heard from the children that this mobile phone can play "My Origin" recommended by the education department. Other students have bought it at home, but ours does not. It's okay, right?

This reason...is very powerful, and no matter how hard it is, the children cannot suffer. Under the comparison, financially free parents have gritted their teeth and bought Huawei mobile phones, just like many families bought learning machines in the name of learning in the past few years. In fact, they finally found out that I bought a game console.

However, mobile phones are different. Parents carry them with them, and their children's game time is strictly controlled by parents. They can also be used as rewards and punishments to motivate children to learn.

And at other times, you can take it out and try it yourself. The seemingly boiling game is not bad, it is very educational, and it was even nominated for a Nobel Prize. Before letting the children play, it is considered to go in and experience it Find something in common with your children.

As a result, needless to say, this group of parents gradually fell into the pit, and in the end they spent more time playing games than the children every day...

Of course, then again, the mainstream users who are willing to spend money to buy Huawei mobile phones are still the younger generation. Most of them like to play games, and the current mobile games cannot compare with end games, so they still play games. Can play on the computer, mobile phones are more of a tool for them to pretend to be aggressive.

However, a game recently launched on the boiling mobile game platform has aroused strong reactions from young netizens and players.

It's not a serious game, but a weird game that focuses on funny entertainment. It's not even clear whether this game is a game, but because it has a lot of brain holes and contains a lot of Internet routines, people can't help but laugh when they experience it laughing out loud.

This is the fifth flagship mobile game launched by Boiling, the game name: "Toilet Lock".
