Chapter 21
“By the way, Mom and Dad, aren’t you going to resign? How is the progress?”
“The principal has approved the signature, but it will take a few days to hand over. After all, we can’t leave the children of two classes alone!” Mom said a little sadly.
“Mom, all good things must come to an end. The children will be taken over by other teachers. You don’t have to worry.” Ye Yunzhou comforted.
“By the way, son, you said before that you want to start a business. What project do you want to do?” Ye Zhenting changed the subject.
“Dad, do you know about online shopping now?” Ye Yunzhou asked.
“I know, but online shopping is very troublesome, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.” Ye Zhenting said.
“What we do is to solve these problems. I plan to develop a software and then provide guaranteed transactions for these e-commerce sellers. For example, when you buy something online, the money will be transferred to my software first. After you receive the goods, click to confirm, and I will transfer the money to the seller.” Ye Yunzhou gave his father an analogy.
“Son, is this legal? Aren’t the sellers afraid that we will run away with the money?” Ye Zhenting saw the problem at a glance.
“So we need to get the bank’s endorsement, and the bank will participate in the supervision of the funds after they arrive at my software. We cannot embezzle the sellers’ money privately.”
Ye Yunzhou knew that there were still some legal gaps in online payment. When Ma Yun was working on Alipay, she said that she was ready to go to jail. However, the Xia government still encouraged this kind of innovation. Later, it directly issued a payment license, and those companies that were afraid of wolves and tigers directly missed the opportunity of online payment.
“But it costs a lot of money to develop such software, and if there is no bank to cooperate with us after it is developed, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?” Ye Zhenting said with some concern.
My mother was cooking in the kitchen. When she came out, she just heard it. She frowned and asked, “What are you two thinking about? What’s going down the drain?”
“Mom, my dad and I are discussing starting a business?”
“You must think more before starting a business. Don’t touch anything that is too risky. What if you lose money?” Li Wanrong said to her son. As a teacher, she still seeks stability in her heart.
Ye Yunzhou knows that now is the era of great competition in the Internet. Without a little spirit of adventure and innovation, it is impossible to compete with these people in the market.
Of course, doing business is risky. There is no business in the world that is guaranteed to make money.
But Ye Yunzhou is a reborn person.
He already knows the results of many things that have not happened yet. It is not difficult to make a steady profit.
“Mom and Dad, don’t worry, your son will not do a business that loses money.” Ye Yunzhou said.
Ye Yunzhou’s parents certainly trust him very much. After all, he has created too many miracles during this period.
After dinner, the parents went back to the bedroom to learn how to use the computer. The computer city gave them a CD for the computer. Ye Yunzhou’s parents followed the teaching content step by step. I believe they will learn how to use it in no time. After all, both of them are teachers and have strong learning ability.
After Ye Yunzhou returned to the bedroom, he sorted out his thoughts and prepared to make the product plan first. Now Ye Yunzhou is like a product manager. He is responsible for raising requirements, while Jarvis is responsible for technical implementation.
“Jarvis, are you there? Let’s talk.”

“Brother Zhou, what to talk about? You tell me.”
“Can you make games?”
“I haven’t made games, but I can write code.”
Jarvis’ words disappointed Ye Yunzhou a little, but think about it. When Jarvis was with Tony Stark, he studied high technology, such as armor, Ark reactor, holographic interface, etc., and he really didn’t make games.
It seems that more information needs to be scanned into Jarvis’ database.
Ye Yunzhou knows that making a game is not easy.
The first step is the project establishment stage. The main thing is to study market trends, analyze target user groups, evaluate similar competitors, and clarify the differentiated positioning of the game. Determine the basic concepts of the game’s core gameplay, storyline, art style, etc. Evaluate the project’s technical feasibility, cost budget, expected returns and risks, etc.
Then comes the pre-production stage. According to project requirements, recruit and form a development team including planning, art, programming, sound effects, etc. Make a game prototype, including basic gameplay, levels, characters, etc., and conduct preliminary testing. Refine the game design documents, including world view setting, character design, level layout, system design, etc.
Then comes the development stage. That is, build a game engine, develop the core functions of the game, and implement the game logic. Make game art resources, such as character models, scenes, UI interfaces, animations, etc. Create game sound effects, and create game music.Music and sound effects enhance the game atmosphere. Integrate all parts together, conduct internal testing, and fix any problems found.
After development is completed, it is time to test. There are several types of testing: Alpha testing, which is an internal closed test, mainly conducted by the development team to check the basic functions and stability of the game. Beta testing, which is an external test, invites some players to participate, collects user feedback, and makes adjustments and optimizations. Compliance review, that is, content review is conducted according to regional laws to ensure that the game content is legal and compliant.
Next is optimization and adjustment, optimizing game performance, improving operating efficiency, and reducing crashes and freezes. According to test feedback, adjust the game difficulty, economic system, etc. to ensure the balance of the game experience.
After optimization is completed, it is localization and multi-platform adaptation, translating the game content into multiple languages to adapt to players in different regions. Adapt for different operating systems and hardware configurations.
Then it is submitted to the platform for review. As for the subsequent marketing, operation, version iteration, and other various tasks, there are countless.
After analysis, Ye Yunzhou decided that the project establishment stage could be skipped and he could just copy the popular games of the future. Anyway, games were just a tool for him to make money now, and his main business in the future would definitely be other high-tech products.
The pre-production stage could also be skipped and he could just copy it.
In other words, Jarvis had to learn all the knowledge in the development stage. It seems that he would have to go to the city library to scan some books on game and software production tomorrow. Jarvis had to thoroughly master the whole process of game and software production.
The next day, Ye Yunzhou’s parents continued to go to school to handle matters related to resignation, while Ye Yunzhou waited at home for the telecommunications company to come and install broadband.
It was not until ten o’clock in the morning that the two employees of the telecommunications company came to Ye Yunzhou’s house, but the installation process was still fast. With the cooperation of the two, the network cables of the two bedrooms and the living room were all installed in less than an hour.
Ye Yunzhou turned on the computer, plugged in the network cable, and clicked on the web page. Well, it was still very fast, much faster than the Internet cafe.
Ye Yunzhou searched for e-books related to games, software production and development on Google. Yes, there really are some, all in English, and they are the latest publications. Now he doesn’t have to go to the library.
However, these professional e-books are not cheap. Basically, there is no one that is less than 5 US dollars, which is comparable to the price of physical books in Xiaguo.
Ye Yunzhou bound his bank card and bought more than 100 books at once. Although Ye Yunzhou could ask Jarvis to crack this book website directly, Ye Yunzhou has always respected knowledge. Besides, it is only a few thousand US dollars, which is not expensive.
“Jarvis, I authorize you to share your vision. I hope we can scan these more than 100 e-books within three to five days.”
