Chapter 68 Small Games 2048
Time passed quietly, and Li Mu's life returned to calm again. After practicing hard in the club, he would go to Deng Jiajia's place to stay overnight every now and then.

The warm atmosphere also made it a good place for him to relax and rest besides practicing.

During this time, Li Mu made another small game called 2048.Just like Pixel Bird, just as easy, just as free, and just as popular.

The real world game was released in 2014, and it is said that the creator only spent one weekend making the game.

Li Mu searched and found that there is no such game in this world, so he spent a few days to make it.

The gameplay and rules of this game are also extremely simple, and it is completely a digital game.You can choose to slide in one of the directions of up, down, left, and right. Every time you slide, all the digital squares will move closer to the sliding direction, and the system will randomly appear a digital square in the blank space. When the squares with the same number move closer and collide, they will add up.Continuous superposition finally pieced together the number 2048 to be considered a success.

It's an interesting little game.

After the game was released, he spent some money on a simple promotion, and the effect was not bad.

During this period, Li Mu found time again to register a small technology company, and injected two small games, Pixel Bird and 2048, into the name of the company.

Without him, tax avoidance can be reasonably achieved.

In this way, the time entered the end of October, after being quiet for such a long time, he finally decided to move.

In the lobby of the Langham Place Hotel, Li Mu walked in in a neat suit. With a glance, he found the figure of Carambola, and walked over with a smile.

"Does Miss Yang remember me?"

Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized, with a professional smile on her face.

"Mr. Li, hello!"

As a hotel lobby manager, recognizing people is a compulsory skill, not to mention that Li Mu left a big impression on her last time, and she recognized it instantly.

"Mr. Li, who are you here today?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Miss Yang, do you remember what I consulted last time?"

Yang Tao hesitated for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

"Mr. Li, are you inquiring about the long-term contracting of suites?"

Li Mu nodded: "Yes! I'm working nearby, and if it's suitable, I plan to stay in a hotel in the next few months."

Yang Tao has an elegant figure, with a standard smile on his face: "Mr. Li, please rest assured that the environment and service quality of our Langham Hotel are well-known in the industry."

"In terms of fees, it is at the middle and lower level in the same industry. If you stay for more than one month, we will give you a [-]% discount; if you stay for more than three months, you can enjoy a maximum [-]% discount."

"Our Langham Place Hotel will definitely provide you with the best quality service and the most favorable fee."

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "I believe what Ms. Yang said. After meeting Ms. Yang last time, I have been deeply impressed. When I need to stay in a hotel, this is the first thing I think of."

Yang Tao took a careful look at Li Mu, feeling that this person was a bit strange, she couldn't say what was going on in her heart, she still kept a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your trust. We will definitely provide you with the best service."

The two chatted for a while, and they got to know each other. Li Mu didn't bother with each other, and there were plenty of opportunities in the future.

After another series of communication, Li Mu chose the luxury executive suite of the hotel, which covers an area of ​​more than 60 square meters, complete with bedroom, living room, bar counter, and bathtub.

I booked for three months. After the discount, the daily room rate is [-]. For a star hotel, this price is very favorable.

Li Mu chose to stay at the Langham Place Hotel after careful consideration.It is convenient to contact star fruit, and being able to become acquaintances and friends is just one of them.

This hotel is also quite close to the Shangdong Club where Li Mu works, only a few hundred meters away, which is more convenient than renting a house for him.

Furthermore, Li Mu rents a house as a single man, and needs to clean and wash his own clothes every day, and often needs to cook by himself.

These seem to be small things, but he wasted a lot of time.

Staying in a hotel is much more convenient. The sanitation is cleaned every day, the clothes are dry-cleaned every day, and you can go to the hotel restaurant for meals, or have them delivered directly to the room.

Save more energy and time and use it for other aspects, which suits him very well.

……

After staying in the hotel, Li Mu's life in all aspects is indeed much more convenient, and he has more time to spend on exercising. Even if he takes a break someday, the hotel has enough fitness facilities and sports venues.

After a period of time, I have to meet several times a day, and Li Mu and Yang Tao have also become acquainted, and learned more about her.

The contract between her and the hotel will not expire for more than half a year, this news made Li Mu stunned.He remembered that Yang Tao's contract expired, she was resigned from the hotel, and she was looking for a job everywhere, which was the beginning of the plot.

Calculated in this way, there is still half a year before the start of the plot.

Prepared enough, even started ahead of time.

……

The time soon came to November 85th, and Pixel Bird's share of advertising alliances at home and abroad arrived again, 58 yuan in China and [-] dollars in foreign countries.

The game's global downloads have also reached 3000 million, of which there are more than 700 million in China, and it has become a well-known free mobile game on the market.

2048 is also performing well, with more than 1000 million downloads worldwide, but it just joined the advertising network at the beginning of this month, and the advertising share will only be available next month.

Moreover, 2048 is different from Pixel Bird. Because it is a digital game, many advertisements are not suitable for placement. In order to maintain the user experience, the frequency of advertisements should be much less.

Based on this, Li Mu estimated that with the same download volume and users, 2048’s advertising share may only be one-fourth to one-fifth of that of Pixel Bird.

However, the 2048 game adapts to a wider group of people, has more potential users, and has a longer game life. The total number of users in the future may exceed Pixel Bird.

According to the feedback from the players, Li Mu took the time to update and optimize the two games again, making the games more playable and interesting.

Attracted more new players to join in a steady stream.

For a while, these two free games attracted the attention of countless game companies.

Especially in China, except for a few major game manufacturers, none of their products have conquered cities abroad and developed so rapidly.

A game company even contacted Li Mu, wanting to acquire these two games, but the offer was too low, only a few months of Pixel Bird's advertising revenue, which was firmly rejected by Li Mu.

He is not opposed to the acquisition, but the offer must be sincere. After all, it is a rare game in China that has made achievements abroad. Only the publicity effect and symbolic meaning can make the stock price rise significantly.

The purchase price is low, excuse me?

……

At noon that day, when Li Mu got off work and was about to go back to the hotel to rest, Deng Jiajia called, her tone seemed urgent and crying.

"Brother Mu, my brother has been calling me to ask for money. I ignored him, so he went to the basement where I used to live. He didn't find anyone, and even came to our company."

"The security didn't let him come up, so he blocked the gate of the company, yelling and asking me to give money. I'm afraid, and now I don't dare to leave the company for fear of being blocked by him, what should I do?"

Li Mu said speechlessly: "Brother Ni is really weird. Last time he owed you money and asked you to drink with him to repay the debt, and he was almost bullied by others. How long has it been since he came to your company again to ask you for money?"

"This is shameless, what a scumbag."

Deng Jiajia's tone was low, with a hint of despair in her voice: "Brother Mu, I was lucky to meet you last time, otherwise I might have..."

"Ah! I don't know what evil I did in my previous life. I have such a mother and such a brother. I tried my best to get rid of them, to get rid of this quagmire, but it was useless. They were always sticking to me like flies and dog skin plasters. body."

"I haven't even been able to make a single friend in these years. As long as they have a better relationship with me and understand my family situation, they will stay away silently; the few who persist will be borrowed when they meet my rascal brother." Money, being harassed, will inevitably scare away in the end.”

"I'm really afraid, I'm really afraid that this whole life will be ruined in their hands. They will always be sucked into blood, implicated, reduced to the lowest level of society, and never have a chance to change."

"It wasn't until I met Brother Mu that there was a ray of sunshine in my life, and I saw hope, and I was able to look forward to a bright future like ordinary people."

"Brother Mu, I really don't want to go back to the past, to that quagmire-like home."

"For this reason, I even vowed silently that I am willing to pay any price and effort to change the status quo and get out of that quagmire."

"However, just after a period of peace, they came here again. I really don't know what to do, how to get rid of this shackle."

The shadow of the past made Deng Jiajia speak hysterically at this time, and the difficulty of her mother and brother made her deeply desperate.

There is hope, fear, unwillingness, and tears on the face from time to time.

Li Mu sighed, and softly comforted: "Jiajia, don't be afraid. You wait at the company, and I'll go over now."
