Chapter 527: Splitting a Vast Universe
Why did Facebook Games put so many chain Internet cafes in the dock, this question, Effie also had at the beginning, but Yu Wenfei's words made her suddenly realize.
"Didn't you ask Li Xin's team to help you make an Internet café fee management software, and how do you plan to promote this software?" asked Yu Wenfei.
"It's cheaper to sell, our software is cheap and easy to use, so we can naturally sell it." If it really doesn't work, then I'll send it to the head office for free. Effie replied blankly.
"Then if someone else also gives it away for free, it's the companies that are making Internet café software right now. Yu Wenfei asked rhetorically.
This piece, there are indeed some companies doing it, and there are a lot of Internet café management software on the market, some are free and some are charged, and the good and the bad are mixed.
Effie was asked, because Facebook Games doesn't have that much promotion ability to push its products directly to the whole country.
If everyone competes viciously, their own Internet café software may occupy a part of the market in big cities, and there is nothing they can do about it.
In her plan, to make this software, she wants to bundle her own game platform to promote.
"In business, when you beg others, things will never get easy. But on the flip side, when someone comes to you, things are much simpler. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.
The meaning of this is a bit deep, and Effie said that she does not understand.
"All Internet cafes have games like CS, Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo installed. Yu Wenfei guided.
"yes, these games are so popular that they should be available in all Internet cafes, and they are all pirated. Effie nodded back.
"Then let's kill the chicken and show it to the monkey first, and sue these relatively large Internet café chains, the purpose is not to let them lose money to delete pirated games, but to let them take the initiative to reconcile with us. After all, during the lawsuit, we can apply to block their Internet café, and the closure of the Internet café for one day is a huge loss. Yu Wenfei smiled.
Effie nodded incomprehensibly.
She has never done an Internet café, of course she doesn't know the specific situation, but since Yu Wenfei said so, it shouldn't be wrong.
Of course, Yu Wenfei didn't talk nonsense, the Internet cafes were all 24 hours a day, and they were closed for ten days and half a month.
Because during the shutdown period, the rent, which accounts for the largest part of the operating cost, has to be paid, and the depreciation of the machine still has to be calculated, and these two pieces can crush many Internet cafes.
The purpose of pushing those Internet cafes into the dock this time is really not to make them lose money, as long as they apply for an injunction at that time, put a seal on the Internet café, and drag him for ten days and a half months, they are not afraid that those bosses will come to him without crying and shouting to beg him.
The goal is to turn the passive into the active.
Yuwenfei is ready to offer a settlement condition, that is, to buy genuine game software, to provide players with a better game experience, of course, the Internet café is a bulk purchase, and the price provided will definitely be much cheaper than the market. At the very least, those Internet cafes can accept it.
Another condition...... It's that the Internet café should be bound to the "Facebook Family Bucket"!
This includes, but is not limited to, Facebook, Facebook, and the game platform......
Of course, the newly developed Internet café fee management software can be given to the Internet café for free, and provide follow-up maintenance and update services, which is also free!
Take you to court first, so that you face a situation where you have to bow your head, and if you don't bow your head, you will suffer a big loss. Then you will see hope that all problems can be solved without much cost, and the only thing that may be lost is a little bit of freedom.
Can those Internet café owners not agree?
As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely agree!
The ultimate goal is to bring these Internet cafes into their own camp.
Since Facebook intends to enter the game industry, the strategic position of Internet cafes is very important, taking advantage of the fact that potential competitors have not yet made efforts in the Internet café area, it will first "heavy-handed", and even "pull" and "fight" to pull the Internet cafes into their camp.
As long as you control the line of Internet cafes, it will not be too easy when you focus on online games and e-sports in the future.
This is Yu Wenfei's plan!
…………
As for the countless Internet cafes across the country, Facebook certainly doesn't have so many manpower and material resources to sue one by one. But Yu Wenfei has already thought of countermeasures, first set up a model of more than a dozen chain Internet cafes, and later will let all those who do Internet cafes see the benefits of joining the Facebook camp.
If there are still those who are reluctant to join, it doesn't matter, Facebook Games will let them understand in the future, what is meant by "those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die"!
When you can't play the latest and hottest games in your Internet café, and when you can't experience the coolest game experience, how long can you keep this Internet café open?
The trend of game development is inevitably towards the Internet, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game!
The limitations of LAN are too great, especially for small Internet cafes.
Just a simple example, games like CF and LOL can actually be played on a local area network, and you can start working with a dozen or so people.
However, if such a game is only played under the LAN, there is no rank promotion, no medals, no ranks, and there are countless opponents of different levels, then is this game still interesting to play?
It can be said that CF and LOL with the emasculation of the Internet function and CF and LOL with official servers are not the same game at all.
With the acquisition of Ogilvy & Mather, Facebook Games will launch a new battle platform!
Instead of adding features to the original board game platform, it is a completely new game platform, specially designed for players.
It's called "Facebook Battle.net"!
In this, a complete national ranking system will be introduced, and the ranks are all divided, from "bronze" to "king", which is enough for players to have enough room for promotion.
Your rank will be officially recognized, and your level will no longer be limited to your own small circle, but will be presented in front of players across the country.
Every king player, their name will spread all over the country!
Excited or not?
Looking forward to it?
Of course, only genuine gamers can join Battle.net.
Moreover, there is an Internet café system specifically for Internet cafes, that is to say, as long as the Internet café uses the Internet café version of the game software, then no matter how many players log in to Battle.net through the same computer, it is okay, and there is no need for players to buy genuine game software by themselves.
In 2003, the most popular game was CS, and there was no one. If you can't play CS in an internet café, will anyone still go?
Although this game won't be popular for long, it doesn't matter, even if it's only for a year, it's enough.
This sharp blade will open up a vast world for Facebook games!
