Chapter 40 Group Buying Site
In this world, nothing can be generalized.
Guangyu Company, Chen Ping didn't want "Plants vs. Zombies" to come out along the development trajectory of his previous life, but he couldn't do it!
When Guangyu Company was incorporated, the capital was only a few hundred thousand, and there were no more than 10 personnel including Chen Ping, and there was no fame at all!
The first game developed by such a company is usually a test of the waters, and it is too difficult to achieve direct success!
Only after developing three or five mini-games in a row and making a certain amount of fame can we fully develop and promote a mature game!
But Chen Ping didn't want to wait that long!
The game "Plants vs. Zombies", since it was able to achieve so much in the previous life, it has been rigorously tested by the market, and the development potential of this game is undoubted, Chen Ping does not want to make such a classic game something to test the waters.
He's going to be an instant hit!
Therefore, the purchase model of traditional stand-alone games was directly canceled by Chen Ping, and this game was completely free from the beginning to have a foothold!
And as long as this game is followed, no matter how many people, it will definitely go viral!
The Internet is a magical thing, and its propagation is incomparable, so as long as it can open up the initial situation, it will definitely spread.
Chen Ping did it, and he opened up the situation of "Plants vs. Zombies" in the game market.
But here's the thing, there's no charge for this game!
The advantage in the early stage, now it seems, has turned into a disadvantage.
It's not so easy to launch such a no-charge game on those big platforms and big websites, not that if you have popularity, people have to beg you to go online.
In the game market in recent years, I don't know how many games that have been popular on small platforms for a while, after launching a big platform, they will disappear overnight, after all, the competitiveness of big platforms is great, and excellent games emerge in an endless stream, and it is easy to be buried!
Therefore, there is never a shortage of good games on big platforms, and if you want to go online, you have to win for both parties!
How is it possible to just let you take advantage of yourself?
People also want to make more money!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, a large platform such as the game launch, either pay or share the revenue, and a part of the benefits will definitely be taken away.
But although there is some pay, but with a big platform as a foundation, once it develops, the money earned is likely to be several times or more than ten times that on a small platform!
This is a matter of trade-offs, there is a give-and-go to gain, this truth, Lu Dongyu understands, how can Chen Ping not understand?
But here's the problem!
Under normal circumstances, such a large platform only accepts these two ways of cooperation, but Guangyu Technology Company can't do these two ways!
First of all, there is no charge for the game "Plants vs. Zombies", so there is no such thing as revenue sharing.
Secondly, Guangyu Technology Company, or Chen Ping himself, does not have many assets now, even if the second phase of the group purchase ends in the past two days, all the proceeds are accounted for, Chen Ping only has a few million assets, most of which will be spent on the supermarket, the down payment of the store in Fuhua Plaza, and the follow-up decoration, etc., the rest is definitely not enough!
Unless you wait for the third group buy!
But that's at least ten days to half a month! Plants vs. Zombies can't wait that long!
These two ways don't work, it's hard to get online on these top game sites!
Seeing that Chen Ping was pondering, Lu Dongyu didn't know what to say.
Lu Dongyu also heard about the supermarket, but he didn't know much about it.
So he couldn't understand why Chen Ping was in a hurry to open this supermarket?
If it weren't for the fact that most of the funds would be used in supermarkets, then "Plants vs. Zombies" would soon be able to enter these top game websites, and when the time came, "Plants vs. Zombies" would be popular all over the country in a very short period of time, and the two revenues of advertising and agency rights alone would be likely to be as high as tens of millions!
What about supermarkets?
No matter how good the business is, can there be tens of millions of income a year?
Lu Dongyu really couldn't understand it, but this was the boss's business, and he had no right to interfere, so he could only wait nervously for Chen Ping's decision.
After a while, Chen Ping came back to his senses, saw Lu Dongyu's nervous appearance in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "Brother Lu, don't be so nervous, I have already decided! The day after tomorrow, that is, on the 24th, Luo Xueshan, the editor-in-chief of the game star website, came back to Anhe City to conduct an exclusive interview with me, and the game star website also intends to let "Plants vs. Zombies" go online on their website, and now the game star website has just started, and it needs to settle in a large number of popular games, which can greatly save our costs!"
Hearing Chen Ping say this, Lu Dongyu was dumbfounded on the spot!
He didn't expect that Chen Ping, who was silent, had already connected with the game Starry Sky!
Soldiers' speed?
Lu Dongyu admired Chen Ping even more.
If you don't admire, you can't do it!
The matter of changing the platform, it was Lu Dongyu and the rest of the team who found out that the data had increased slowly in the past two days, realized that "Plants vs. Zombies" had reached a bottleneck, and after two days of discussion, they came to the result, and then came to Chen Ping.
But what about Chen Ping? He had already contacted the editor-in-chief of the game star website!
Lu Dongyu thought about it carefully, the headquarters of the game star website is in the capital of Beihe Province, thousands of kilometers away from Anhe City, Luo Xueshan rushed over thousands of miles, so it must be arranged for a while, so when the two of them contacted, it was at least two or three days ago!
In other words, when the data of "Plants vs. Zombies" had not changed, Chen Ping had already considered this step early and started to act!
With this kind of forward-looking, Lu Dongyu is ashamed of himself!
Then, he completely relieved his mind and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Chen, you are really far-sighted......!
After a few words of compliment, Lu Dongyu sighed and went back.
Chen Ping was also crying and laughing.
This product really doesn't flatter!
Just a few words over and over again, without even a little fresh flattery!
However, Chen Ping didn't care about this, dealt with the affairs at hand, and said hello to Lu Dongyu, if there is a call to talk about advertising cooperation or agency, you can write down the contact information first, and when Chen Ping comes back, he will give the other party back.
After leaving the company, Chen Ping rushed to the warehouse non-stop.
The second phase of the group purchase is several times more than the first phase!
The original warehouse was no longer enough, and Chen Ping asked Wang Yang to rent the other two warehouses next to him when the second phase of group buying began to be promoted.
Lin Yuwei also found more than a dozen people on her side, all of whom were masters who installed and repaired computers in the computer city.
Today is the 22nd, which is the day of the second phase of group purchase delivery!
When Chen Ping came, there was a lot of noise in front of the warehouse!
The scene is chaotic!
As soon as he saw this kind of noisy scene of people coming and going, Chen Ping's head was big!
At least hundreds of people came to the scene!
Some of them are students, and some of them are parents of students, and it is estimated that parents are worried that students will be deceived, so they come over to take a look, after all, they have bought thousands of dollars!
These hundreds of people tossed back and forth inside and outside the warehouse, but there are only a dozen masters in the warehouse who are really responsible for the installation, even if they are extremely skilled, three configurations of computers, as long as they learn one of the configurations of the proficient installation, but each computer also takes about fifteen minutes, and it is not busy at all!
Chen Ping immediately frowned, squeezed into the crowd and looked around, and finally found Wang Yang.
Wang Yang is sweating profusely directing the work of the dozen masters, in addition, he also found the network managers of the Internet café at home, responsible for distributing mobile phones, this thing does not need to be installed, the mobile phone is taken out and handed over to the customer, and then test whether it is good or not.
Fortunately, it has been said in advance that Wang Yang and Lin Yuwei's Yijia computer guarantees authenticity and no quality problems, but they will never accept bargaining!
The price of these mobile phones and computers is low enough, and then it is impossible to bargain, as long as there is no problem with the verification of quality, and you still want to bargain and entangle, you will directly postpone the processing, and wait until everyone's goods are sent, and then deal with these people, if the other party resolutely does not accept, then sorry, the deposit is not refunded, and the goods are not given!
Although it seems to be tough, it was all said in advance, and the guests agreed, so no one deliberately found fault.
So although the scene is chaotic, at least for the time being, there will be no problems, but there are so many guests, waiting to receive the goods and waiting a little impatiently.
However, everyone looked at Wang Yang and others being busy, and everyone couldn't say anything.
But after Chen Ping came, he was a little dissatisfied with this situation.
found Wang Yang and said bluntly: "There are not enough people, go find some people!"
When Wang Yang saw Chen Ping coming, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Where can I find someone? There are enough people to distribute mobile phones, and the most lacking thing now is the installation master! The installation master who is working alone in the computer city has all been found, and he will find it again, unless he goes to other computer stores to borrow people! Then won't the people in those computer stores know about this matter at that time?"
Chen Ping frowned and said: "You don't need to find an installation master! You go to find a dozen classmates, now everyone is on vacation, and the volunteers have been filled in, it is estimated that everyone is idle and has nothing to do, just let them earn some extra money! Tell them that a person has a thousand yuan a day, and he will work for these installation masters to deal with some simple things!"
Saying that, Chen Ping did not delay, and came directly to an installation master, and quickly helped the installation master to start.
These computers purchased by Yijia Computer, when they are shipped over, are all kinds of hardware, chassis, motherboards, graphics cards, memory modules, etc., are separated, and then assembled on site after the goods, customers can verify in person, to ensure that all hardware is genuine and new, without any quality problems!
But these installation masters, the speed of installation is actually very fast, and they are also very skilled, if they are only responsible for assembly, it is estimated that they can install one in five or six minutes!
But they still have to unpack and find parts, which delays a lot of time, Chen Ping gave this installation master a hand, although he is not proficient, but at least it has shortened the time by five minutes!
Looking at Chen Ping's movements, Wang Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood.
Others may not be able to do this, but many students in Chen Ping's class have bought computers, and they know about these computer accessories.
Thinking of this, Wang Yang didn't say a word, took out his mobile phone and started calling.
