Build a game empire from scratch

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

On this night, the same Yunmeng users, some players were busy leveling up to unlock new weapons, while some players were contacting each other to form an organization, preparing to take to the streets to protest and demonstrate.

The latter does not only refer to British players, but German players are also very excited.

However, the German players are still calm. They have to figure out one problem first: Yunmeng failed to enter Germany to build servers. Is it because Yunmeng didn't want to, or there were no local companies willing to cooperate, or the government intervened to set up obstacles.

After all, players are also reasonable!

Of course, there are those who are calmer than British players, and naturally there are those who are more irritable than British players.

Players of America planned to take action that day—after all, not everyone could fly out of the country for a year just to play games like Turner did.

But all of this has nothing to do with Yunmeng for the time being.

Or at least, it has nothing to do with Lin You for the time being.

By now he had gone to bed.

The Battlefield development team has also left work, so what should they do, and - it's really a holiday as usual!

Two days on the weekend, unless there is really a vicious BUG that is serious enough to affect the game experience, otherwise it will all be saved until Monday.

As for minor problems that may arise...

Just treat it as a game feature first!

The next day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the usual time is the time for a new batch of mirage hosts to be put on the shelves.

Up to now, almost no players care about this matter.

After all, the number of domestic users has exceeded 190 million, not to mention hitting the ceiling, but it is almost the same.

The most direct evidence is: the scene that the mainframe was sold out on the day it was put on the shelves is long gone forever.

The main force of orders last week showed a tendency to move overseas.

And what's amazing is: Lin You paid attention to the whereabouts of these hosts, and it wasn't what he imagined. They were all countries in Southeast Asia that didn't have cooperative companies, or rich and anxious players in Europe.

It's amazing that a total of 8 million consoles were shipped to Mexico last week.

In addition, more than 4 million mainframes were shipped to Brazil.

——After the production capacity is no longer in short supply, Lin You has canceled the purchase restriction. Anyway, the players who want to buy have basically bought it. At this time, if there are scalpers willing to buy it, then let him buy it. Lin You doesn't care anymore.

Many of the mainframes sent overseas this time were large orders of tens of thousands of units.

Just because there is no fixed partner, this kind of direct large order, if you want to complete the delivery smoothly, the process will be much more complicated and the cost will be higher.

But this has nothing to do with Yunmeng.

Because all the overseas large orders, the pick-up location is in Daxia, and the pick-up person is even Brazilian/Mexican and Daxia.

Then how they send these hosts to Brazil and Mexico is their own business.

Of course, the way to leave the country must be legal. Although the mirage hosts are not confidential items, if they leave the country in large numbers, an additional process is required: the number, destination, and time of departure of these hosts will be recorded separately.

——However, this is limited to Daxia.

After leaving Daxia, whether it is still a legal way or not, then... I don't know.

When Lin You first noticed this, he felt extremely outrageous.

It never occurred to him that there is such a large potential player market in Latin America.

Lin You always thought that the place was very poor, the industry was very backward, and not many people had time to play games...

But after doing some research, he was surprised to find that Brazil is the largest game market in Latin America, accounting for as much as 30%! And Mexico is the second largest game market in Latin America, accounting for a full 19%!

The two markets combined accounted for 49% of the entire Latin American game market, which was literally half of the country!

Of course, the outrageous place is not here, but in another place:

As America's back garden, Yunmeng has not set foot in the Latin American market.

Because the network communication standard is exactly the same as in North America, under the restrictions of America, they want to use the network springboard to log in to Yunmeng's server. The procedure is equally complicated and the price is also high.

Under such restrictions, it is very difficult to log in to Yunmeng's server in large numbers and play virtual reality games.

When Lin You saw the data, he also asked Xiaomeng: How many Latin American players have logged into the game?

Xiaomeng's answer did not exceed his expectations: less than 200,000 people.

Before, less than 200,000 people had logged into the game, but now they bought 12 million consoles in one go? ?

What are they used for? favorite?

How can there be so many rich people? !

Lin You couldn't understand it.

The things that confused him didn't stop there.

Remember what I said earlier? In the Latin American game market, Brazil accounts for 30%, and Mexico accounts for 19%. If Mexico is rounded up, the ratio of the two sides should be 3:2.

So, in the case of Brazil purchasing 4 million hosts, shouldn't Mexico be more than 2.6 million according to the ratio?

But why did Mexico finally place an order for more than 8 million units?

Where did the extra 5.4 million units go?

Lin You was very puzzled.

However, due to the extremely inconvenient network environment in America, the number of these hosts is currently activated is very small, and he cannot directly determine the location of all hosts.

This confused him for a long time.

Fortunately, this week, things are back to normal.

The 30 million hosts that were newly put on the shelves were basically received in scattered orders, and there were only a dozen more.

——The number on the shelves is less than last week, because the domestic sales slowed down, and the production capacity reached the upper limit, so Lin You simply allocated 10 million units from the original 40 million units to overseas partners.

In addition to the original 20 million units, the hosts delivered to overseas partners this week reached 30 million units.

For the first time, a balance has been reached between domestic and overseas.

The big summer players have no opinion on this.

——Even if Minecraft continues to flourish and the social circle of elementary school students once again exerts their strength, which makes the domestic sales data jump up a bit, it only sold more than 3 million units in a short period of time, creating a small After the peak, the sales curve flattened out again.

The remaining mainframes are more than enough to sell in the country for a week.

So compared to this, Daxia players still care more about the game.

They keenly discovered that the release of Battlefield has obviously affected the game environment of the Minecraft multiplayer game-many server players said that the number of daily troublemakers and sabotage players has been greatly reduced.

Even the fighting intensity of [World No. 22] has dropped a lot.

Obviously, a large number of players who like to fight and destroy rushed into Battlefield and began to devote themselves to more intense and direct confrontation.

This phenomenon has inspired some players who are good at reverse thinking.

They took this opportunity to come to [World No. 22], trying to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a secret stronghold here.

At noon, in the My World section of the Vortex Forum, a player with the ID Little Wish ran out excitedly to post——

[Show everyone the secret cabin I built in [World No. 22]! ]

In the post, the player first showed his world number to confirm that he is indeed in [World No. 22] where chaos and violence coexist, and wars break out all the time.

Afterwards, he was very proud to show netizens what he had spent a whole night working hard to build——

A hidden base where most of the creations are located underground.

There are not only cultivated fields, corrals, small lakes, glass houses, but even beautiful flower beds.

He proudly declared that he had successfully taken root in the chaotic [World No. 22], and completely achieved self-sufficiency.

Under his post, netizens responded one after another: The thinking is clear, The action is so strong, Congratulations.

Little Wish is obviously also very happy. He enthusiastically replied to every comment from netizens, thanking everyone for their blessings, and passing on experience to other players who have this idea.

This harmonious atmosphere lasted for a long time.

Until a netizen suddenly jumped out and replied: I seem to have seen this piece of grass in front of your house.

I'll see you later.

The second update is still being written, a little later.
