Chapter 404: The Stronger the Stronger (Ask for Subscription)

On the last day of April, the public cyberspace was buzzing.

Portals, forums, Tieba, Weibo and other platforms are all discussing 'Minecraft'.

In the beginning, it was a spontaneous discussion among some gamers.

The topic revolves around which 80 entries will be award-winning entries, and there is also speculation about dark horses.

Among them, there are also some players who are more confident.

Because the voting ranking of the works that lasted for fifteen days, the final result can basically be seen.

Dark horses are outliers after all.

When the final results of the top 10 in the eight categories were revealed, players quickly discovered that only 6 of the 80 winning entries were ranked lower.

And when the final selection of the 'Minecraft Awards' was decided in a simple and straightforward way, the online discussion exploded.

Among them, Weibo, the most novel platform this year, is the most.

Xu is greedy for fun, and the official blog launched an activity to guess the dark horse of the work this morning.

"Haha, I guessed right! Sure enough, it was the big dark horse of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" that won the "Minecraft Award". ”

"I didn't expect that in eight categories, two works would become dark horses and enter the finals. ”

"Speaking of which, the work "The Yellow River Flows into the Sea" is somewhat clever, and I think it's because of the classification. ”

"If you want to talk about classification, then "Oriental Pearl" is more clever!"

“......”

"To tell the truth, it is not surprising that "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" can get a bonus of 1 million, not just a matter of 100% restoration, but really exquisite, and it is qualified to become a contemporary artwork. ”

"One thing to say, indeed. ”

"It's just a pity that "The Great Wall, the Forbidden City" is actually a bad move. ”

"Brother, don't mention it, I was originally in the top ten, but I was squeezed out by the dark horse, it happened to be the eleventh, and I cried dry!"

"Don't say such a depressing thing when you're happy!"

“......”

Fang Nian, who likes to surf the Internet very much, certainly didn't miss this hot discussion.

However, this time, Fang Nian was just a spectator, so he didn't use his mobile phone to log in to the 'key' account to swipe Weibo.

Everyone celebrated lively, and Fang Nian nested in an inconspicuous corner and flipped through the nearly 100,000 comments on the greedy and fun official blog, with a happy face.

I swiped a comment at the bottom of the order.

"Are you discussing whether you guessed the right dark horse, I'm concerned about when I can take care of user opinions and change the name of the company!

There are actually quite a few replies below this comment.

"Dingding. ”

"Top the landlord, I also want to say, this company name is too uncompelling!"

"Why don't we launch an online campaign to rename Fun?"

“......”

Seeing Fang Nian here, his eyes blinked: "......"

muttered in a low voice: "Who is taking care of the official blog? The account password is used? This kind of comment can't be seen by Mr. Guan, otherwise the pot will definitely be on my head." ”

“......”

When Fang Nian wanted to copy his homework, he just said it casually.

Strictly speaking, the words greedy and fun are indeed a bit tongue-twisting.

It is also appropriate to change the name of the company.

Fang Nian's mind turned around several times, and he immediately remembered the name.

After a while, I decided to take the initiative to talk to Guan Qiuhe for a while.

Take the initiative, how much makes Mr. Guan feel a little happier.

Thinking about these things, Fang Nian's movements in his hands were not slow at all, and he quickly flipped through other Weibo dynamics.

Soon another comment caught his attention.

"Damn, I just saw news on other forums that the turnover income of 'Minecraft' in April is said to be more than 1.3 billion. ”

Fang Nian: "......"

After seeing this news, Fang Nian found the source with almost no effort.

"I have nothing to do, and I made a simple statistics on the monthly sales of games on the greedy game platform, and found an amazing fact;

Aside from all other games, just talk about 'Minecraft', which is priced as low as 47 yuan in China, but it is still the most expensive online game on the platform for greedy games, and the platform shows monthly sales of up to 29 million copies!

Regardless of whether the game is fun or not, just talk about the moment, as far as I can observe, as of press time, the number of new game sales today is close to 3 million!

In other words, even if all other games on the platform have 0 sales, the game 'Minecraft' alone contributed more than 1.3 billion revenue to Greedy Play in April;

This is equivalent to every Chinese giving a dollar for greed and fun!

Moreover, according to the public information of Greedy Fun, the release of this game in China is carried out in the form of a buyout agent, which is why the Chinese region is cheaper than all other regional servers, because Greedy Fun has its own pricing power;

Considering the popularity of Minecraft in other parts of the world, even if Fun Fun buys out agents at a very staggering price, I believe that this month's turnover should be a big profit. ”

The source is not posted on Weibo, but a game forum.

It's just that there is a link attached to Weibo.

Seeing these listed data, Fang Nian was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "3 million copies were sold today?

"Just to vote?"

"47 yuan a ticket, that's really ...... Not cheap at all. ”

These data were very exciting, but Fang Nian's brows furrowed.

Next, Fang Nian looked at the comments under the forum post again.

"The data listed by the landlord is no problem, the only problem is that the operating costs paid by greedy fun are not calculated, I remember that someone has simply counted the net profit margin of game companies that operate their own games like greedy and fun, and it is said that it will generally not exceed 20%;

In particular, the greedy game platform has been expanding server resources in large quantities this month, and it is estimated that the profit will not be too high.

What's more, many people are waiting for the second quarter of the public welfare plan, according to this turnover of 5% of the revenue for public welfare, at least in April, the greed for fun should be a loss of money. ”

"The data is fine, but the profit should not be too high, if there are such sales next month, greedy fun is estimated to have a chance to start making a profit." ”

"Not to mention anything else, the number of 1.3 billion is really exciting!"

"I watched some public game videos, I went to download and try them, and the integration of the greedy game platform is very good, and I can play all the games with one account, which is very comfortable. ”

“......”

Fang Nian pursed his lips and pondered in his heart.

I have discussed the profit margin with Guan Qiuhe once before, and it is estimated that there will be a new low this month.

When the game platform was first launched, Guan Qiuhe was still greedy for fun with Fang Nian, and it was not bad for money at present, but after the 17th, the server resources were expanded on a large scale, and it was tens of millions of dollars to go in.

It is estimated that this month alone, the net profit margin may be the same as speculated on the Internet, not too high.

When Fang Nian thought about making a call to Guan Qiuhe, a call came in first.

It's Liu Qin's.

As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Qin's hearty laughter came out: "Mr. Fang, congratulations, the greedy game platform has taken a big step forward this month, and 'Minecraft' has been a great success!"

"Tongxi. Fang Nian said with a smile, "It's a little bit of a walk forward." ”

Liu Qin also agreed: "In terms of the number of platform games, this is indeed the case, but it has only just started, and it is still early. ”

As she spoke, Liu Qin changed her words and said, "Mr. Fang, have you had time recently, Lao Kuang has always wanted to sit with you, and there are a few friends from the investment bank." ”

"I'm afraid I haven't been there lately, I'm a little busy. Fang Nian said embarrassedly.

Liu Qin expressed her understanding: "Mr. Fang is busy, if there is a good opportunity in his hand, he can communicate." ”

"Definitely, definitely. Fang Nian responded with a smile.

In fact, strictly speaking, Fang Nian is similar to Lei Yin, both of them have the identity of angel investors, but there are other companies, and there are not a lot of things to eat.

Compared with a pure senior investor like Liu Qin, business should be done chicly.

On the other hand, Fang Nian is more chic in business than many people.

He doesn't care.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Nian didn't rush to talk to Guan Qiuhe, he knew that Liu Qin's call was just the beginning.

Sure enough, soon Lei Xin's call came in.

"Congratulations to Mr. Fang, the greedy game platform has been online for a month, and it should have directly achieved a return on investment, right?" said Lei Yan with a smile.

Fang Nian replied, "I don't know the specifics. ”

"I knew that I would make an exception and invest with Mr. Liu for fun!" Lei Yan said in a regretful tone.

Fang Nian snorted: "Next time, I must call Mr. Lei." ”

“......”

In addition to Lei Yin and Liu Qin, Tan Qunzhao, Kuang Ping and others also called to congratulate.

Although from any point of view, the operating expenses invested in this month are not a small amount;

However, the monthly turnover of 1.3 billion has undoubtedly broken the monthly turnover data of games maintained by all domestic game manufacturers.

Therefore, it is reasonable for people who know Fang Nian, the behind-the-scenes investor, to congratulate and congratulate and have a basic friendship.

But then again, even if the revenue data of Greedy Fun this month is very beautiful, it is still far from the monthly revenue of some large domestic game manufacturers.

After a series of phone calls, Fang Nian was in a much happier mood.

In any case, congratulations from others are always pleasant.

............

A little later, Fang Nian took the initiative to talk to Guan Qiuhe on the phone.

"Is it convenient to close the total time, say a few words?"

Guan Qiuhe hummed: "You say." ”

"What, I'm more curious, this month's profit is as low as the outside world good people say, and even have to lose money to make money. Fang Nian said with a serious face.

Guan Qiuhe smiled: "Mr. Fang still cares about this little thing, and the meeting will be over in the morning." ”

"The financial statements have been sent to your mailbox. ”

Financial statements, unless Fang Nian asks for them, will not be issued to Wen Ye.

If you don't send it to Wen Ye, when Fang Nian sees it, it's all heaven's will.

And something as definitive as financial statements is not an urgent matter.

Therefore, Guan Qiuhe would only tell Fang Nian unless he was particularly free.

Hearing this, Fang Nian snorted: "Ah, I didn't bring a computer." ”

Guan Qiuhe didn't debunk Fang Nian's excuses, although she could squeeze and say, 'mobile phones can be on the mailbox', 'traffic is only worth a few dollars'.

Instead, he answered the question: "Minecraft sales figures are very good, so the profit margin is a little higher than expected, and the initial consolidated net profit margin should be around 35%." ”

Fang Nian thought for a while and said, "It seems to be okay." ”

Then the conversation changed: "I just read a lot of news on the Internet, and the actual income of this 'Minecraft' event is much higher than expected, and the heat will have to be lowered later." ”

"Because more than half of the current game platform relies on the traffic of 'Minecraft', the development potential of the game cannot be overdrawn;

It seems that many registered users will be silent users in this event, which is not a good sign. ”

Guan Qiuhe thought so: "In the afternoon, more than one million copies were suddenly sold, so I asked the relevant departments to focus on this matter." ”

"This kind of activity is very beneficial to the game, and in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, how about making it a fixed form once a year?"

Fang Nian pondered for a moment, and finally said, "You can try." ”

"It is still necessary to pay more attention to the essential development of the platform. ”

Guan Qiuhe responded: "However, according to the operational data, the current situation is very good. ”

Fang Nian thought about it and said, "Maybe it really responds to that sentence, the stronger it is, the stronger it is." ”

Then Fang Nian said: "I heard you say that Shencheng intends to let Greedy Fun move the headquarters here, in this matter, I think if the tax is conducive to support, you can move in the form of a subsidiary;

The headquarters is still in Tangli, after all, it is the land of Longxing, and it is still necessary to pay attention to it. ”

After a pause, Fang Nian said: "In addition, I think we can take this opportunity to change the name of the company." ”

Hearing this, Guan Qiuhe said quietly: "It's a bit tongue-twisting to be greedy and fun, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's all my fault, the name I said casually at the beginning is not easy to be in line with international standards. Fang Nian said, "Therefore, while the company is still in the period of rapid development, it is still too late to change its name." ”

Guan Qiuhe sighed: "In this way, Mr. Fang was actually dissatisfied with the name greedy and fun for a long time, right?"

Fang Nian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm afraid of ......"

Before Fang Nian's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Guan Qiuhe's sneer: "Heh!"

"Mr. Fang deserves to be a great writer! He has a high level of education, many ideas, and a noble person who forgets things!"

Fang Nian: "Ah, this?!"

"I set this name at the beginning!" Guan Qiuhe gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

Fang Nian: "......"

Fortunately, Guan Qiuhe complained twice, and finally agreed to Fang Nian's proposal.

And completely handed over the right to take the name to Fang Nian.

Fang Nian said with a deep groan: "I actually want to use some old story terms as the name of the company, this is when I invested in a friend's cloud computing company, my friend said that the company's name is 'Bi Fang', which means the idea after the fire." ”

"But the two names that come to mind seem to be too good for me personally. ”

Guan Qiuhe was surprised: "Usually Mr. Fang has the meaning of drawing a clear line with the company, but it is rare that Mr. Fang always wants to get some light, so he must choose one of the two!"

"Speak up and I'll listen. ”

Fang Nian didn't hesitate much, and said directly: "One is Ruixue, taking the meaning of Ruixue Zhaofeng Year;

One is Dangkang, the Rui beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, whose name comes from the cry, when Kang, can be a mega year. ”
