The 38th floor of the Global Building in the High-tech Zone of Qianwan City is still brightly lit.
Song Pan has been in pain lately.
Ten years ago, he saw an opportunity and founded a small mobile game development company to focus on making games for iPhones.
Over the years, the company has developed very well by taking advantage of the smartphone dividend.
At its peak, the company had more than 100 employees, maintained five mobile games at the same time, and had a monthly turnover of more than 5 million.
However, as Internet giants have invested in the mobile game industry, Apple's mobile games have also entered the strange circle of spending money on operations and advertising to make money.
Running a game is also very profitable, but it is also very money-burning.
Song Pan is just a small boss and can't afford to burn at all.
As the situation deteriorated little by little, under the general trend of not being able to survive without operations, Song Pan had to grit his teeth and do a big job.
He took a risk and devoted most of the company's manpower to the development of a new MOBA-like mobile game, Dragon God Century.
The developers are very good, the research and development is very smooth, and the game development is completed in half a year.
He also carefully recruited several successful operational talents, half ambitious, half fearful to start operations.
After three months of operation, Song Pan got the report card of 'Dragon God Century': 6 million advertising costs per month, and 4.4 million revenue per month.
The monthly loss is 1.6 million, and the loss is more than 50,000 per day!
After Song Pan spent all his savings for many years, he couldn't support it anymore.
There are currently only two paths.
Either stop the operation, stop the loss immediately, and return to the old path of focusing on game development again, but Song Pan understands that this is a slow death.
Either open up a new way of making money, the easiest way is to recruit Android developers and launch the Android version of 'Dragon God Century', then the revenue can immediately increase by a large margin.
The second path is good, but it's just as difficult.
Song Pan estimates that at least 10-15 new Android program teams will be hired, and these personnel will cost more than 200,000 yuan a month just for their salaries.
There are also expenses for computers, desks and chairs.
In addition, there is not enough office space to accommodate so many new people, and a larger office space needs to be rented.
It's all money!
Moreover, his company has been engaged in the development of the Apple version of the game without any experience in Android development.
Song Pan estimates that even if the recruitment is smooth and the development is smooth, it will take at least 6 months to launch the Android version.
However, Song Pan is almost at the end of his rope, and the money in his hand will last for two more months at most!
I can only sell the house!
Song Pan gritted his teeth and made up his mind, but he didn't know how to go home and talk to his pregnant wife.
Song Pan was in great pain, unable to concentrate on his work, and wandered aimlessly on the Internet.
Inadvertently, he opened the mobile game development section of the CSDM forum.
It's such a familiar place, it's been a long time.
Song Pan is also a programmer, but he has been out of front-line development for a long time.
He browsed through various posts, looked at the questions asked by various newcomers, couldn't help but smile, and remembered his ignorance when he first started his business, and temporarily forgot the pressure on his body.
He suddenly found that there was an advertising post that was pinned to the top in the mobile game section, and the title was still eye-catching shock.
"Shocked, there is such a magical website!"
Song Pan smiled bitterly in his heart, now even the developer forum has become a world of advertising?
Song Pan nodded in boredly.
The post is very simple, the landlord gave a URL and gave a brief introduction: automatic conversion of Android app installation package and Apple app installation package.
Song Pan's heart jumped wildly!
The comments of netizens are very enthusiastic, Song Pan looked at the time of the post, the post just made this morning, and there have been more than 1,000 replies so far!
"The lord of the building!
Hands-on testing is available!
” "Programmers are going to lose their jobs?"
"Mom asked me why I was typing on my knees, and I don't know why?"
"CSDM is degenerate, and the advertising posts are so unscrupulous!"

"Upstairs SB!"
“+1” “+10086” "Does anyone know where is the headquarters of this thoughtthink technology?
I want to go for a job!
” Song Pan couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly clicked on the official website of Shensi Technology.
The web page is very simple, like Google, with a strong technical aesthetic.
Song Pan saw the introduction: "Shensi Technology provides the automatic conversion function of APK installation package and IPA installation package, which is currently free."
Song Pan quickly clicked the 'Upload Installation Package' button and selected the RPA installation package of Dragon God Century.
"Upload completed, converting, please wait ......"
Song Pan's heart beat violently.
The progress bar is fast to 100%. button changes to 'Download Installer'.
Song Pan excitedly clicked the button, and after 30 seconds, an apk installation package of Dragon God Century appeared on the desktop.
It worked!
Song Pan trembled his hands and took out his spare Android phone to connect to the computer.
Installation!
A familiar game icon is displayed on the Android panel.
Ryūjin Century!
Song Pan's head went blank and clicked on the game.
Familiar music.
Familiar interface.
Enter your account number and start playing.
Five minutes later, Song Pan's tears flowed involuntarily.
Everything works with the demo!
Song Pan has never felt that the Android phone is so perfect like this moment!
He wiped away his tears and called his wife in a hoarse voice: "Wife, I'm working overtime tonight, the company ......
There is salvation!
” ...... ......
Jiang Yuan didn't know that Shensi Technology had become unexpectedly popular, and he was inspecting the office building he had just rented with Li Qingyu.
This is a huge office space of 2,000 square meters, forming a ring around the elevator shaft.
The former company used soundproof glass to divide the area into several areas, including meeting rooms, breakout areas, and office areas.
Looking out through the glass curtain wall, there are rows of office buildings, and the lights are still lit at 9 o'clock at night, and it is obvious that many companies are working overtime.
Jiang Yuan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the previous company was well decorated, we don't need to renovate, let's use it directly."
Li Qingyu responded with a smile: "Yes.
At the beginning of the business, everything was simple, and we added some office equipment to open the business. ” Jiang Yuan pointed to the simple computer room and said: "However, the computer room is the focus and needs to be improved.
The most critical part of our product is the 'application conversion tool' on the server, and I didn't use the IDC computer room and cloud server because I was worried about data security.
This computer room should be reinforced to prevent fire and theft. ” Li Qingyu nodded in agreement, and noted Jiang Yuan's request: "Okay.
I'm going to do it right away and try to finish it in seven days. ” The two went their separate ways.
Jiang Yuan returned home, checked the background logs, and was surprised to find that in just half a day, there were more than 1,300 records of application conversions!
Jiang Yuan simply checked the database and found that the more than 1,300 conversion records came from more than 1,000 IPs.
In other words, in half a day, more than 1,000 developers visited the official website of Shensi Technology.
Is this on fire?
Doesn't make sense?
Jiang Yuan pondered for a while and began to check his posts on various forums.
Not surprisingly, most of the posts sank, but the CSDM post was actually topped by the moderator!
"No wonder it's so hot."
Jiang Yuan was relieved.

Start looking at the logs carefully, and the conversion is all successful.
The user feedback is full of words such as "good NB software" and "is your company still looking for someone", and no bugs were found.
Very good.
In this case, it is time to increase the account system.
In the future, you will only be able to switch if you have registered an account.
At the same time, each account can only convert three apps.
This is in preparation for payment.
Jiang Yuan also set the upper limit of the number of accounts at 3,000, and 10,000 conversions were enough for testing.
When the total number of conversions exceeds 10,000, the re-access page of ordinary accounts will automatically change to 'The test period is over, so stay tuned', and only the account set by Jiang Yuan can continue to convert the application.
After all, every free conversion is a loss for Jiang Yuan, he is not a philanthropist!
