Game Dynasty

Chapter 257 Nonviolent Noncooperation

Looking at a group of subordinates with different expressions, Liu Xiang lit the cigarette with a bang. 【】

"A long time ago, long before most of the comrades here have not joined the game, we have discussed whether the free game is feasible, its advantages, disadvantages, and how to change the operating model." You , after several discussions, we have come to a conclusion that if we operate for free according to the current popular model, then the benefits will be greater. "

As Liu Xiang's voice rose slowly, the commotion below gradually subsided, and only Liu Xiang's voice was ringing in the conference room of Nuo Da.

"We know that in theory, free can turn a game with only 1 people into 10 people. And even if only 10% of the 30.00 people pay... then, for this game, it is also a success tripled revenue."

Seeing the knowing smiles of the people below, Liu Xiang also smiled: "Yes, this theory is summed up by you. However, what I want to say is that if a paid game with an average online number of more than 30 is free , Can we become 300 million? Taking a step back, can we reach 90? This 90 is still a guaranteed number.”

"Of course, some people may say that the above is just a conservative estimate, and the bonus of high-investment players must be added. Yes, I have no objection that selling top-quality weapons and props that can be upgraded quickly can indeed greatly increase the circulation in the world. The accounts in the offline black market and the share of equipment transactions are in hand."

"For example, there are rumors that the monthly offline transaction volume of You's "Legend" and "Miracle" has exceeded one million yuan, and no less than hundreds of professional players have become hundreds of thousands of millionaires and millionaires in one fell swoop."

Liu Xiang dropped the cigarette ash and smiled, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with these. If anyone wants to grab market share from You, free is undoubtedly the only and best choice."

"But... Is our game the same as those impatient game companies who are eager to make money in the game market?" Liu Xiang shook his head disdainfully, "In the past year, You has completed the initial industrial transformation, and this year, it will initially achieve profitability. Change of direction. Next year, You will fully enter the stand-alone and console markets!"

"Maybe you have questions, what do we need to do with the operation department? What do we need to do with the market share?"

"It's very simple. I'm not happy with those companies now, very upset!"

A simple displeasure completely exposed why the young Mr. Liu was so angry when good news came frequently.

It's very simple, as a young man who always talks about his ideals, Liu Xiang is angry with those companies who dare to destroy the game order he has established.

This can't blame Liu Xiang for being petty.As early as when he first set foot in the gaming industry, Liu Xiang set his goal to establish and maintain a harmonious gaming atmosphere.Based on this goal, you will truly treat the player as a god, and work hard to provide players with all services based on the regulations.Moreover, the several games you play are all based on the balance of professions. In the games you are playing, it is difficult to find a situation where a certain profession is the enemy of the world. In some games, the real strength is only created by the hard work and struggle of the players. .

This is also the reason why the games you play are so valuable because they all rely on hard work to upgrade!Well, it's kimchi though. . .

But now, when all efforts have been turned into a competition for money, the cheats that were originally a scourge for you have become the only life-saving straw for those non-rmb players...

The high-level meeting of You's operation department lasted all afternoon. In the end, two games with relatively unsatisfactory operating performance were finally selected to operate "Miracle" and "Heroes" for free.

Miracle, as the first imitation Diablo game independently developed by You, due to Liu Xiang's too much interference in the game design, this game is very similar to "Miracle" to a large extent.In terms of operations, You's various strategies are also biased towards miracles.But in the end...History proves that gold will shine... Miracles that are driven out with plagiarized ideas and temporary work are still not as good as miracles in terms of performance.Especially after the establishment of the National Game Industry Federation, the game almost copied the two games based on the Miracle engine and handed them over to other operators for operation.As a result, Miracle's status fell even further behind. Although there was publicity from various aspects of the game, Miracle was still like an idiot who couldn't help it... It became the game with the lowest performance in the game.

And Haoxia... This project that Zhao Qing was in charge of was originally very competitive. Because it was launched before Jinshan released Swordsman OL, it was quite popular at the beginning.But...compared to the fact that its roots are not upright, and the upstream balance master Xi Xiaoding did not participate, so there are some problems in professional balance.And when Xi Xiaoding intervened and took a month to solve it...Jinshan's swordsman ol has quickly seized the domestic martial arts market with overwhelming publicity and its Xishanju appeal.

However, even so, You's praise still gave Haoxia a good result.At least in terms of games operated by Youxia, the income of Haoxia ranks fourth.

The reason for choosing these two games is that both games had achieved quite popular results at the beginning of the public beta, but they gradually lost their aura due to various reasons later on.In other words, these two games have a huge mass base.Secondly, these two games are independently developed by Youyou.It will not involve messy issues such as splitting and modifying program permissions.Three...and most importantly, these two games have the fewest platinum members!

The root of free travel is to expand the platinum membership base!

The game has also added new props, but this prop is not the kind of prop that can turn a person into a master overnight.But some extremely functional props.For example... Various fashions and couple outfits with strange attributes that do not destroy the balance; various weather props and flower props that can create an atmosphere, various carriages and scrolls that can save time, etc...

The most important thing is that these props are not for sale!It's for delivery!Its service targets are players who have applied for the Youyou Platinum membership card.

The recharge points of the platinum membership card can be exchanged for corresponding props.Of course, if you apply for a new Platinum membership card, you can immediately enjoy the preferential treatment of bonus points.

To put it simply, these two games are the back garden of You Platinum members!Fully enjoy the free value-added service after recharging.In the game, if you are a free civilian player, it will not affect your game pleasure and upgrade speed at all.But... you are just a commoner in the game.What they wear and use is just ordinary equipment, while platinum players wear extremely luxurious equipment. Although the offense and defense are the same, the appearance is completely different.

"Aren't you worried about player diversion?"

It wasn't until the meeting was over that Xi Xiaoding got the news from Yuan Ye, and ran to Liu Xiang's office to strike up a conversation with a teacup in his hand.

"How can it be diverted? Do you think that the account of the paid game is lost at will?" Liu Xiang smiled and turned the back of the chair, hanging his foot on the corner of the desk, but Zhang Jiajia opened it with a book.

"The previous servers are still charged to the end, and several better servers are merged, and the vacant servers are used for free operation. Initially, the maximum number of free servers for each game is limited to 100 million people." Liu Xiang smiled. , sat up straight, "Even if only one percent of players are willing to pay, we won't lose money. Moreover, I don't lack anything now, only superficial achievements and concepts."

Xi Xiaoding disdained it, but after thinking about it, he nodded.

That's right, the stocks of You International and Tencent are soaring upwards, plus Mr. Cheng's billions poured in at once...You have so much cash in your current account!

Liu Xiang can still afford to play one or two games at a loss.

"Besides, the popularity of the century of war has become a foregone conclusion. So far, you have signed the operation rights of 25 countries and regions, right? The signing fee alone will make your eyes shine." Liu Xiang faced Xi Xiaoding's disdain Also quite calm.Except for the North American branch and mainland China, the operation rights of the war century are all released.Under the condition of a signing fee of up to 500 million US dollars, the threshold of the foreign affairs department of the game has been broken by operators from all over the world.

"I'm risking my ass..." Xi Xiaoding swears for no reason, "Wow's signing bonus is clamoring for 800 million..."

"Low-key, brother." Liu Xiang smiled, stood up and stretched, "By the way, I have to tell you, wow, I'm going to buy it too."

Xi Xiaoding, who was drinking water, was almost choked.

"Besides, the highest price of Lao Tzu directly reached 200 million U.S. dollars." Liu Xiang seemed to appreciate Xi Xiaoding's expression at the moment, happily took a sip of the coffee Zhang Jiajia handed over and said with a smile, "Moreover, it's not only domestic, I'm even going to buy the right to operate in the United States!"

Xi Xiaoding was stunned.It took a long time to point at Liu Xiang...

"you……"

"That's right, I'm going to use this method to deal with Blizzard." Liu Xiang smiled slyly, and took a big sip of coffee in an extremely unmannered manner, "It's just that they don't know."
