Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

This said, everyone knows what it is.

"What do you mean?"

Don't ask, Gao Shuhua naturally knows what's going on.

This matter is related to the charging model of Asking.

Before asking questions, they once had a very strong debate on the charging model.

At first, they wanted to do it for free.

Because Fantasy Westward Journey charges fees, if they do it for free, they can quickly attract the attention of the market.

On second thought, free-to-play seems feasible, but they don't have much experience with free-to-play games.

Although Huanyu Technology has two games for free, whether it is BNB or Go Kart, these two games are casual games.Pure RPG role-playing games still take the path of charging.

"How about asking Mr. Chen what he means?"

"what……"

At this point, Gao Shuhua also nodded.

Although Wenwen and Fantasy Westward Journey are competing products, but judging by Chen Yu's attitude, he still takes good care of them.

"Okay, I'll give Mr. Chen a call."

After thinking about it, Gao Shuhua called Chen Yu.

"Free or paid?"

Chen Yu was not surprised when he received Gao Shuhua's call.

During the last inspection, he knew that Wendao didn't seem to have fully settled on the charging model for the game.

Of course, some people may think that the game is 8% complete, why hasn't it been decided yet?

In fact, this is perfectly normal.

Game charging model, whether it is charging or free, in fact, making games is the same.

He can make it free after it is done, or change it to charge after it is done.

It's nothing more than making more game props when it's free.

It doesn't take much time.

Even in the previous life, some game development companies produced two versions.

One is free and one is paid.

If you want to play for free, play for free, and if you want to play for a fee, play for a fee.

"what do y'all think?"

Chen Yu asked.

"We don't have much experience, and we wanted to do something for free, but before, it was free to compete with Fantasy Westward Journey, and on the other hand, we wanted to use it to attract popularity. But if we really want to do it for free, I'm afraid can not do well……"

"In this case, let me analyze these two modes for you."

Asking questions about previous lives is free.

Although Wenwen has also achieved great success for free.

But to be honest, free does have an advantage in the beginning compared to charging.

But if you want to really make money, you still need to charge.

Can you imagine how much you can earn in a day when millions of people are online at the same time and all of them are charged.

Although there are many local tyrants who charge money for free, but on average, it cannot be compared with the fee.

Of course, this is secondary.

The most important thing is that once a game like RPG is free, there will inevitably be various props that disrupt the balance of the game.Every time the game is updated, new equipment, new props, new babies, new ways of playing... are all to attract players to recharge.If you control it well, maybe you can persist in your game for a while. If you don’t control it well, it will affect the ecological balance of the entire game every minute.

In the previous life, it was okay to control the RMB in the early stage, but once it reached the later stage, it completely collapsed.

It's not that the main creative team is not strong enough.

It’s true that this kind of free has been going on forever, and such various equipment and props that require money are constantly being introduced, no matter how talented the main creative team is, they can’t hold it.

Strictly speaking, Chen Yu tends to charge fees.

Of course, Chen Yu's tendency to ask charges is also related to the current network environment.

Asking for free in the previous life was after Shanda fully launched the free strategy. At that time, everyone had already accepted the concept of free.At the same time, the major game companies also have a more practical and effective theory for free games. At least, they understand that they can make money for free without disrupting the balance of the game.

But if it is free now, it will be the first RPG online game to create a free model.

Whether Gao Shuhua is a genius or not, Chen Yu doesn't know.

But what Chen Yu knows is that if they do it for free now, it will definitely not be as good as it was in the previous life.

Of course, fees also have disadvantages.

That is, it is more difficult to promote in the early stage.

And it has to face a strong competitor Fantasy Westward Journey.

But if a game really has a lot of ways to play, even if it has a strong competitor like Fantasy Westward Journey, it can still make its own name.

It's like Journey to the West.

Although Fantasy Westward Journey surpassed Westward Journey.

But why are there so many people playing big talk?

It's not that they don't know Fantasy Westward Journey, but that there is also their classic way of playing big talk.

And this kind of gameplay, this kind of fun, is not in the dream.

"That's the specifics. As for free or charged, you can decide."

Chen Yu only gave advice on how to choose the supreme Shuhua.Don't help them make decisions.However, after listening to Chen Yu's suggestion, Gao Shuhua already had the answer:

"Brothers, I have decided, we will charge."

This is Gao Shuhua's decision.

This time, the decision changed the current trajectory of "Wenwen", and also changed the future of [Guangxia Technology].

Chapter 410: Huanyu Department Store (for subscription)

"Mr. Chen, the punishment from above has come down, a fine of 50 yuan."

"so far so good."

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a fine of 50 yuan is considered a punishment, it is basically equivalent to a verbal warning.

"It seems that the higher-ups also attach great importance to consumption."

Zhang Jianming analyzed the reasons and said.

"Domestic demand needs to be strengthened. This is something the higher-ups have always wanted to do. Originally, we couldn't be blamed for this event, but it accidentally stimulated the consumption of citizens. This is something the higher-ups didn't expect."

Chen Yu also nodded: "Well, this matter is okay, what's the situation with Ali?"

"They have reached a cooperation with Gome Suning."

"Gome and Suning have figured it out."

"Gome and Suning are traditional home appliance companies after all. They don't know much about the Internet, so they can only cooperate with Ali and the others. However, Ali also sent people to third- and fourth-tier cities."

"Oh, is this a trick from us?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jianming was a little depressed: "They sent more local pushers than us. Although the small home appliance stores they cooperate with are not as good as ours, the market is too big, and we can't stop it."

"If you can't stop it, don't stop it. We don't engage in monopoly."

It is impossible for e-commerce to monopolize.

Chen Yu never thought of monopolizing the entire market, but what Ali did was exactly what Chen Yu wanted.

"Although there is a market for home appliances, the profit is not large, and it will not be the mainstream of the market in the future. Since they are so enthusiastic, then we can safely and boldly launch our c2c, which is our Huanyu Department Store."

Universal Department Store is another business of Universal Mall.

Huanyu Mall does b2c, and Huanyu Department Store does c2c.

However, although the business is different, it is still placed on the same website.

It's just that the same website will be separated.

The reason why we must do c2c is that the content resources of b2c are not enough.

It is impossible for users to buy appliances online, and it is impossible for users to buy brands for everything.

Only c2c can provide a wide variety of products.

Similarly, only c2c can promote more users to try to buy in the early stage.

"Mr. Chen, we have been working on the c2c business, but the current transaction volume is still very low."

"In the early stage, we don't look at the trading volume, we must pay attention to the volume of trading orders and the number of new user registrations."

"We have promoted this area several times, but the effect is not good. The reason is that the c2c business cannot be picked up offline, so it is still difficult for users to try online payment for the first time."

Zhang Jianming summarized the problems encountered in the c2c market in the recent period.

"Many users are the same as the previous b2c. Although they want to try it, they are worried about being cheated."

"this is normal."

Chen Yu nodded, and didn't think it was a big deal.

This is what happened in the early days of e-commerce.

Otherwise, why Ali has been engaged in Taobao for so long, and the transaction volume is only more than 2000 million.

It is because everyone does not have enough trust in e-commerce.

Otherwise, they would not be so crazy to enter the B2C market.

Of course, this is what Chen Yu wants to see.

Since Mr. Ma is doing b2c with great fanfare, the rest of the c2c market will be developed by himself.

"Mr. Chen, we discussed it and came up with an idea."

"What's the idea?"

"We can cooperate with major supermarkets."

"You mean Wal-Mart Carrefour?"

"Yes."

Zhang Jianming nodded: "The model is the same as ours and Yongle's model, so that users can place orders online and pick them up at supermarkets offline."

"No."

Chen Yu shook his head: "Huanyu Department Store can't follow the way of Huanyu Mall."

Chen Yu explained: "Let's not talk about whether Wal-Mart is willing to cooperate with us. Even if they are willing to cooperate, they will not make much profit by cooperating with us. After all, our Huanyu Department Store sells small commodities. Moreover, their prices have no advantage. .We are doing Huanyu Department Store, we must use the resources of the whole country to lower the price.”

Why did Chen Yu set up the headquarters of e-commerce in Hangzhou.

It is because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are the most famous small commodity distribution centers in the country.

Generally speaking, if ordinary people want to buy these small commodities, they can only buy them through offline physical stores.

Like buying some stationery.

But these stationery have to go through a series of channels such as wholesalers and retailers.

In the end, it was sold to users, and the price doubled several times.

One of the advantages of C2C is that those small commodities can be delivered directly to users.

Even with the postage included, it is still a good deal for them to buy these small commodities.
