Chapter 108: Game Entry
"Pleasant to work with."
"Pleasant to work with."
Watching Chen Yu return to Xinfeng by car, all the staff of Ganshi Telecommunications Bureau came back to their senses after a while.
"Xu Jia, how are you today?"
"Well, manager, I didn't expect such a big order to hit me on the head."
"Haha, not only did you not think of it, but I also have some blind spots now."
"The Internet is really a magical product. It seems that we all have some things that are not keeping up with the times."
People sighed from time to time.
Today is a day worth celebrating.
This is the largest order received by the computer room of Ganshi Telecommunications Bureau since its establishment.
However, Chen Yu had some headaches to celebrate with the Gan Telecommunications Bureau.
"It's no wonder that the penguins were almost finished. Not to mention other things, the cost of renting a server is already terrifying."
5173 and so, millions of QQ online at the same time, the cost of server rental is at least tens of millions a year.
This is just for rent. If you buy it yourself, well, you can't afford it for the time being.
This also made Chen Yu really understand why the Internet is a bottomless pit.
Not to mention other things, the average enterprise may not be able to afford the rental fee of the server alone.
Therefore, when Chen Yu returned to Xinfeng, the first thing he announced was a price increase.
right.
That's right.
The cost burden is simply too high, and only a price increase can keep the company running.
"Mr. Chen, the promotion fee will increase by 50%?"
"right."
"Is this increase method too high, what should the game companies do if they resist?"
"I don't want to go up, but if it doesn't go up, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive."
This is also impossible.
I still remember that when Penguin had no money, they even charged 2 yuan to register for QQ.
Obviously they don't want to take it.
Such a charge will definitely drive away customers.
But if you don't accept it, the penguins really can't get along.
After all, they really hadn't found a way to make a lot of money at that time.
That is, the cooperation of Monternet, and the QQ show that came out later, saved Penguin at once.
Otherwise, even if the Penguin family has a great business, it will go bankrupt in an instant.
This isn't a joke.
Biting the bullet, Chen Yu ordered Zhang Jianming and major game manufacturers to issue e-mails about price increases.
However, unlike expected, the major game manufacturers did not have much opposition.
"Strange, the major game companies just complained, and there was not much objection."
"Oh yes, what did they say?"
"They said we were too tricky, but the cooperation fees continued to come in."
"Great."
Chen Yu clenched his fists.
Fortunately, fortunately, it seems that the price increase has not driven away these customers.
However, this also made Chen Yu a little strange.
The reason why he called for a 50% price increase was not because he wanted to increase so much at once.
He also thought about bargaining with a number of game manufacturers, and it would increase by about 20-30% later.
But looking at it now, it seems that the major game manufacturers have money, but there is nothing to do after complaining.
Are they really that rich?
Not necessarily.
Shanda has made a lot of money from legends.
But there are many game companies with only a few thousand people online at the same time, and they really don't make much money.
Even if you make money, you can't be so generous.
In this case, why are they willing to continue to pay high prices to cooperate with them?
Chen Yu had to start looking for the reason in himself.
After looking it up, Chen Yu smiled.
Three days later, 5173 is no longer the original 5173.
Relying on the great tricks that thousands of guilds continue to share in various Internet forums, websites, and QQ.
5173 has vaguely become the player traffic entrance of major game companies.
This is the same as WeChat, mobile browsers, app treasures, etc. in later generations.
If you master these, you will master the flow.
If you master the traffic, you will master the ticket of the Internet.
However, 5173 grasps the game player's entrance.
But it is such an entrance, what he has in his hands is the lifeblood of the entire game industry.
When realizing this, Chen Yu seemed extremely excited.
He had some experience of those Internet bigwigs pointing the country.
Although he knows that 5173 is not big now, it is far from being the opponent of these big guys.
In the game, Chen Yu knew that he could speak.
[Here is the fastest industry information. 】
[Here is the most authoritative industry strategy. 】
[Here is the most professional promotion plan. 】
[5000 guilds, 20 million players, 5173, welcome your cooperation. 】
This is not for players to see.
This is sent to major game manufacturers to see.
"Brother Jian, add these words to our cooperation letter."
"Mr. Chen, is it too arrogant to write like this?"
"What kind of arrogance, we already have this capital."
Before I didn't want to know, Chen Yu always felt that he was just a small website.
But now, when he really analyzes the strength of the website, Chen Yu understands the extent of his own strength.
In this case, then play 5173's confidence and play 5173's style.
"I'm sorry, the cooperation letter sent by 5173 today is too conspicuous."
"It's not one or two o'clock, it's just hitting Sohu in the face."
"No, Sohu just made a big move on the front foot, and the bubbles didn't pop up in a blink of an eye. Now it's better, the 5173 family is dominant."
"It's good for us to be a big player. The more players are concentrated, the better the promotion effect will be. This is actually good for us."
"It's good for us, but I didn't expect a small gaming site to have so much energy."
"Yeah, we have been working hard to make games back then, and we spent a lot of money and energy. Now that I think about it, we should have started the game portal first. Now, we have to cooperate with him."
"How could the world have known earlier that you were the richest man in the world."
"Right."
A number of game manufacturers sighed.
Although they know that there is some bragging, it is impossible for all 20 million players to join 5173, but 5173 has gathered 5,000 guilds, which itself has affected the entire game pattern. Therefore, as soon as such a cooperation letter was issued, a group of game manufacturers immediately became bloody and stared at 5173 closely. Even if there were people who called 5173 price hikes to deceive people before, they will not speak now. Even if you have never thought about cooperating with 5173 before, you are thinking about it now, do you want to cooperate with 5173?
And this one attracted one person.
This person is called Zhu Jun.
Founder of The Ninth City.
He is also the game tycoon who later represented World of Warcraft and acquired Shenhua Football Club.
However, now Zhu Jun is not as good as later generations.
Now Zhu Jun is running a virtual community called Gamenow.
While Gamenow is doing well, it has 14 million registered players. But playing the website, few make money at all. The pockets of the four major portals are very tight, not to mention the Gamenow virtual community with an advanced concept.
Like other bosses, Zhu Jun also took a fancy to online games.
Especially when it was discovered that Shanda Chen Tianqiao had made hundreds of millions of dollars by virtue of the legend, Zhu Jun said that it was impossible not to be jealous.
Speaking of which, Zhu Jun and Chen Tianqiao also started out as websites.
Chen Tianqiao can rely on a legend to make a lot of money, why can't he Zhu Jun?
To this end, Zhu Jun spent a lot of money to represent a game from South Korea, Miracle.
However, Miracle has not been officially launched yet, and Zhu Jun is going to have an internal test first.
But now Zhu Jun feels that before the internal test, he has to go to 5173.
