Chapter 370: Limit
Facts have proved that Lin Weidong and Xu Bo's worries are superfluous.
An hour later, the hero skin of Luban No. 7's "Fulu Brothers" sold 20,475 on the game store of "Honor of Kings".
As of 12 o'clock on the same day, in just five hours, the Luban No. 7 - Fulu Brothers skin launched by "Glory of Kings" sold a total of 48,765 copies.
Although the skin of the Fulu brothers of Luban No. 7 does not sell as well as Sun Wukong's western prostitutes, there is no gap in grade between the two.
In the following week, Century Games struck while the iron was hot, and successively launched heroes such as Li Bai, Zhao Yun, and Cai Wenji, as well as the skins of 6 heroes such as Angela and Hou Yi.
Obviously, compared with Sun Wukong and Luban No. 7, the popularity of heroes such as Angela and Houyi is obviously worse.
However, the follow-up of "Glory of Kings" Li Bai, Zhao Yun and other new heroes, in terms of popularity, are not worthy of Sun Wukong and Luban No. 7, which is also good news.
December 30, morning.
Lin Weidong held an internal meeting at Century Games.
At this meeting, Lin Weidong mainly focused on the hero skin of "Glory of Kings" and delivered an important speech.
"Don't think that the 8 pieces of 8 skins are not profitable, they are sold too cheaply, we launched 8 pieces of 8 skins, not to earn these 8 pieces of 8, but to launch 18 pieces of 8, 28 pieces of 8, or even 39 pieces of 9 skins in the future. ”
"In a word, there is a gap when there is a contrast, and when the time is ripe, we can launch epic skins, limited skins, and glory collection skins......"
"As long as there are enough players, we are not afraid of not making money, we have methods, some are gimmicks, such as December 25th a few days ago, everyone knows that it was Christmas in the West, we could have launched a few Christmas-themed skins, but because of time problems, we have not had time to launch this Christmas-themed skin. ”
"This is just an example I gave, in fact, there are many festivals that can launch higher-grade skins, such as New Year's Day, such as Spring Festival, such as Valentine's Day, etc., only you can think of it, and we can't do it without us!"
“......”
After the meeting, Lin Weidong and Xu Bo did not leave the conference room immediately, but continued to have a deeper discussion.
So far, "Honor of Kings" has been in open beta for 45 days.
In these 45 days, "Honor of Kings" launched a total of 14 heroes, 10 hero skins, and sold a total of 754,370 skins, with an average of 75,437 skins sold.
That is to say, throughout the month of December, Century Games sold 10 hero skins to gamers through the game "Glory of Kings", with a total profit of 6.63 million yuan.
Although so far, the monthly revenue of "Honor of Kings" is not as good as the tens of millions of revenue of online games such as "Legend", Lin Weidong knows very well that as long as there are no big accidents, it is only a matter of time before "Honor of Kings" surpasses "Legend".
Of course, Lin Weidong is not blindly confident, he also has his own worries, that is, after "Glory of Kings" becomes popular, other online game companies will definitely follow suit immediately and plan to launch online games similar to "Glory of Kings".
Needless to say, among many online game companies, Tencent Games' imitation and copycat capabilities are absolutely second to none.
Therefore, Lin Weidong was not carried away by temporary success, he always felt the pressure of the unknown, and the competition with latecomers.
Unlike Lin Weidong, Xu Bo is much more optimistic.
Obviously, Xu Bo didn't know the style of Tencent's website, and said disappreciatively: "Lin Dong, you're a little unfounded, I don't dare to say that other game companies, Tencent wants to copy our "Glory of Kings", at least a year." ”
"Besides, Tencent doesn't necessarily have to be a copycat of "Glory of Kings", and now there is more than our "Glory of Kings" game that is popular on the market, and I think "World of Warcraft" has also been very popular recently. ”
Lin Weidong said earnestly: "Lao Xu, you must not think so, you are not unclear about the style of our Chinese people. ”
"Don't say it's Tencent, if "Glory of Kings" has been so popular, maybe NetEase and Shanda will join the team. ”
After thinking for a moment, Xu Bo nodded with emotion: "Lin Dong, hearing you say this, I thought of a paragraph I had read before. ”
"It's funny, the story told in that paragraph is similar to what you said. ”
Lin Weidong asked with interest: "What kind of joke, tell me about it." ”
Xu Bo smiled and nodded: "Okay, this paragraph is about the difference between Jews and Chinese." ”
"Once upon a time, the Jews opened a gas station in one place, and the business was very good. Then a second Jew came and opened a restaurant. A third Jew opened a supermarket, and the area soon became a bustling neighborhood. ”
"And we Chinese people have opened a gas station, and the business is very good, the second Chinese will definitely open a second gas station, the third, the fourth... As a result, the front and back of the first gas station, left and right, are all gas stations. ”
After listening to Xu Bo's words, Lin Weidong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't say it, this paragraph is really quite vivid." ”
Morning, January 7th.
After 2 months of promotion and operation, the number of simultaneous online users of "Honor of Kings" once again refreshed the record of this game, exceeding 400,000 for the first time, and it has become one of the five most popular online games at the moment.
Unlike in the past, after "Glory of Kings" set a new record this time, Lin Weidong did not arrange a celebration banquet.
First of all, because he was busy, the year was approaching, and Lin Weidong held several meetings, including the annual meetings of the three companies, and the annual meetings of writers of the Century Chinese Network.
However, Lin Weidong is most concerned about Century Games and the development of the game "Glory of Kings" launched by the company.
In this regard, Xu Bo asked puzzledly: "Weidong, why are you so low-key?
Lin Weidong smiled and said: "What is 400,000, students across the country will have winter vacation in a few days, let alone 400,000 at that time, 500,000 is not a problem." ”
Xu Bo smiled and nodded: "Yes, during the winter vacation, there will definitely be many students who frequently go in and out of Internet cafes, and the number of players in "Honor of Kings" will definitely increase significantly in the short term." ”
Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Xu Bo continued: "Lin Dong, how high do you think the limit of our "Glory of Kings" can be?"
Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't understand, what kind of limit do you mean by limit?"
Xu Bo said seriously: "Of course, it is the limit of the number of people who are online at the same time. ”
Lin Weidong thought for a while and said calmly: "I think there must be great hope for the current trend to develop and surpass the 630,000 historical record of "Legend". ”
"As for whether it can break the million mark, it is difficult to say, because no one knows whether there will be a new online game in the near future to replace our "Honor of Kings". ”
