Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Even if it's just your drawing, I guess, to be honest, the profit level is average.

But this is generally a relative term. You can make a lot of money by playing a small game. Many individuals and small game companies are already very satisfied.

However, for large-scale games, more than 20 people are online at the same time, which is simply a terrifying number.

Just like Westward Journey, only 10,000+ were online at the same time before, and their profit reached 1 million a year.

Although Westward Journey is a paid point card, Haofang is free.

But Haofang is free, but the membership fees derived from Haofang are also extremely terrifying.

Especially for such large-scale competitive games, Haofang has developed a function for members to speed up.

This function is that once you open a membership, your operation speed will be faster and smoother than other players.

This is similar to the acceleration software of League of Legends in the previous life, but less people used it in the previous life.

Because everyone's internet speed was very good at that time, the difference between using it and not using it was not particularly big.

But in 2002, when playing this kind of large-scale games, especially large-scale battle games, sometimes the screen freezes for a second, and the winner will be decided.

Therefore, after Haofang launched the membership acceleration function package, it was recognized by many players and joined the membership one after another.

According to statistics, the income from purchasing members alone has reached more than 1000 million.

And that's only 1 month.

It is not impossible to continue to operate and earn 1 million a year.

"I suddenly felt that Haofang joining the YY camp was the most sensible strategy."

"Well, I admit that Huanyu Technology is a big golden leg. If you want to make money, hurry up and hug your big golden leg."

"Is it too late to go now? I'm afraid they won't accept Huanyu Technology."

"Shut up, since Huanyu Technology has opened the platform, it will be open to everyone. However, since it is open to everyone, the competition will be extremely high. If you don't have the strength, among the hundreds or thousands of games in YY Games, You can't even get blisters...Of course, this is relative, once it becomes a hit, think about it for yourself."

This is the world.

When Huanyu Technology proposed the opening strategy, some people waited and watched.

When YY Games has created an open platform, some people still feel that joining YY is a kind of restriction.

However, the explosive growth of the Haofang platform has completely awakened those spectators who were watching.

……

"Mr. Chen, the winger just contacted us."

"Oh, the winger wants to join us YY?"

"There is this idea, but they want to maintain independent development after joining."

"It's a good idea."

Chen Yu smiled.

I will give you traffic, a platform, and all resources.

How about you, you want to develop independently after taking advantage of a wave?

If it is so good, why should I make a platform instead of doing it myself?

"Reply to them, either according to our contract, or they can operate well by themselves."

YY game is not a hardware platform, but a software platform.

He can't make money by selling hardware, he can only work hard to build his own platform.

Since it is a software platform, YY Games has also imposed restrictions on other software manufacturers.

Those who join YY Games are not allowed to publish products on other platforms, nor can they operate independently.

It's like writing a novel. You can't post the novel to other stations after the starting point.

If you want to send it to other stations after posting it to the starting point, and then want to do it yourself later, then you will be fooled by others.

"Mr. Chen, I have already rejected them."

Li Nan said.

"Hehe, good job."

Chen Yu laughed.

It seems that Li Nan's understanding of his thoughts is quite accurate.

For those who want to take advantage of this, go for it.

Although Universal Technology is an open platform, Universal Technology is not engaged in charity.

"Mr. Chen, there is one more thing. After the Haofang fire, some merchants have contacted Haofang to ask for the naming rights of the finals. What Haofang means is that they are no longer able to negotiate this part, and they don't know how much the naming rights will be. We help them negotiate this cooperation."

"Oh, these merchants have such a good sense of smell, they think of naming rights?"

Chen Yu said no problem.

Everyone's interests are tied together, and it is no problem for Universal Technology to help with this small favor.

"Although e-sports is considered a minority, it has high technical content. Several teams have attracted the attention of some investors and want to train them into professional teams."

"That's a good thing."

Chen Yu was very pleased.

E-sports is a big industry, and it is good for businesses to pay attention.

Of course, Chen Yu had an idea to make Haofang bigger in his previous activities.

For example, in the finals, Chen Yu's idea is to directly pull the TV station to broadcast live.

But then the TV station had some hesitation, and finally failed.

"In the future, if we have the opportunity, we can make e-sports bigger."

"Is it like the world e-sports competition?"

"almost."

Chen Yu nodded: "However, the World E-Sports Competition is organized by Koreans, and I don't agree. If I want to do it, I want to hold a World E-Sports Competition founded by our people."

However, the timing is not right for the time being, and there is no soil for competition right now.

Of course, the most important thing is not to have your own game.

It is impossible for Chen Yu to hold a competition and only play games made by other game companies.

In any case, at least there must be a product of its own game company.

"Hey, by the way, why don't you make a competitive game first?"

When this idea came to his mind, Chen Yu was a little moved.

Afterwards, Chen Yu called Zou Tao over.

Chapter 234: Everyone Operates a Hero

"Zou Tao, how are the progress of the three games?"

"Mr. Chen, the development progress of BNB is the fastest, and it will be completed in about three months. The progress of Fantasy Westward Journey is also very fast. I learned about it from Xu Bo, and it will be online in half a year."

"Fantasy Westward Journey can be launched in half a year, so fast?"

"The main reason is that Xu Bi and Wu Yunyang are desperately trying to make games. In addition, they themselves are very familiar with Westward Journey, so Xu Bo alone can handle the entire team when it comes to planning this part."

"Too."

Chen Yu nodded.

Xu Bo used to be in charge of Westward Journey's customer service alone. Although he was customer service, he had basically encountered all problems.

In addition, Wu Yunyang is also the founder of Wind Soul Engine, so the development is not difficult.

The main difficulty is the production time.

Whether it's art, 2D modeling, or plot setting, it takes time.

"As for our 3D game, the engine is still being produced, and the entire world background is still being perfected. As for the development cycle, it is about 2-3 years."

"There is no rush for 3D games, we will do it slowly."

Chen Yu nodded.

He called Zou Tao here not to ask about the progress of these three games, but for something else.

"Zou Tao, competitive games are very popular recently, have you paid attention?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, although Haofang is on YY's side and I'm not in charge, how could I not pay attention? I even went online and played a few games."

"Oh, what are you playing?"

"CS and Warcraft."

Zou Tao is an experienced game player, so he is naturally interested in CS and Warcraft.

"How, how do you feel?"

"One word, cool."

"Then if we also make a competitive game, what do you think?"

"This one……"

Zou Tao hadn't considered this question before.

Chen Yu asked all of a sudden, but Zou Tao couldn't figure it out.

However, in the end, he still has a lot of research on this area. After thinking about it, Zou Tao said: "It can be possible, but it may not be able to make more money than our online games."

Although competitive games are good, to be honest, competitive games are the worst cost-effective for making money.

In particular, competitive games are mostly free, and for the sake of game balance, items that disrupt the system balance cannot be released.

Only in the membership mode, and the membership mode has to provide more services, such as increasing the speed of the Internet.

Apart from these, there are very few places to make money.

"You are right. If we are talking about making money, we still focus on online games at this stage."

Of course, competitive games are also very profitable if they are done to the extreme.

However, they make money by selling genuine cdkeys.

Just like Warcraft, if you want to play Warcraft, you can only buy Blizzard's cdkey.Huanyu Technology's game production ability is naturally not as good as Blizzard's for the time being, and it is impossible for him to make a game like Warcraft.

"However, although competitive games don't make money, they still have a great influence. In particular, South Korea held a world e-sports competition last year, and e-sports has attracted much attention. If this area can be supported, it will be of great help to the establishment of our Universal Technology Image is of great benefit.”

how to say.

Although Huanyu Technology is making a lot of money doing online games now.

But while making money, there is also a lot of pressure.

For example, not long ago, the media reported a series of hazards of online games from time to time.

This is very depressing.

However, Chen Yu couldn't run to say, hey, you are wrong, our online games are not as bad as imagined.

However, if a positive image of e-sports is established at this time, I am afraid that this concept will be much less.

Don't say no, at least everyone may try to understand.

Everyone will think about it, the game is not necessarily a scourge.

Playing games can also be regarded as a profession.

"Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense."

Zou Tao agreed with Chen Yu's rephrasing.

Probably as the person in charge of the game, he has been attacked a lot since he joined Universal Technology.

Who told him to make the legendary world so popular?

Who told him to advertise everywhere.
