Chapter Seventy-One: Xue Mingtao Returns to His Heart

The game "Plants vs. Zombies" was on the game Star website, and on the third day of its launch, that is, 72 hours, the data of background downloads has reached 1.8 million!

That's a very encouraging statistic!

Since the establishment of the game star website, although the number of users has reached the level of 10 million, there is no game that can reach this kind of data in just three days!

It's not that there aren't more popular games than Plants vs. Zombies, it's just that those games didn't have such high download numbers when they first launched!

After all, as a single-player game, Plants vs. Zombies is completely free, which is still very attractive!

And with such a high download data, as well as a good momentum of development, in the past few days, those businesses who called Chen Ping have increased the advertising fee step by step, just now, Chen Ping received a phone call, and the other party directly increased the advertising fee to as much as five million!

This is already one of the highest prices among the many merchants who called Chen Ping.

In the game "Plants vs. Zombies", Chen Ping set up a total of 6 advertising slots, two of which are large advertising slots, and the other four advertising slots are slightly inferior.

The other party offered a price of 5 million, and the request was of course one of the two largest advertising spaces.

However, Chen Ping did not agree immediately, although he dealt with it with a smile on his face, but after putting down the phone, Chen Ping's face still had a look of dissatisfaction.

Rats' eyes!

Do these merchants really think that they are just a businessman who has just debuted and has no eyesight?

Although it is true that he has only just started doing business for a short time, after all, he also had nearly forty years of life experience in his previous life, and he has never eaten pork or seen a pig run.

The development prospects of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" can be seen by the technical personnel in charge of game development in the company, some of whom are younger than their previous lives, and they can all know what kind of future development this game can be, don't they know?

Do you really think you are wronged?

Chen Ping felt a lot of slander in his heart, and then he put this matter behind him.

During this period of time, there have been more than 20 merchants who have called Chen Ping and want to buy advertising space, and the prices offered by these merchants are also rising step by step, and the speed of improvement is getting faster and faster.

Chen Ping also knew very well that this was his own strategy and was responded!

So many businesses contacted him, but he never let go, and he didn't have the slightest intention of selling the advertising space, which is already an extremely obvious signal!

He just wants to tell those merchants that he is not a young man who doesn't know anything!

If you want to buy the advertising space for Plants vs. Zombies, you have to pay the same price!

In Chen Ping's heart, the two largest advertising slots must be at least more than 15 million yuan!

As for the other four, they must be at least seven or eight million!

Before and after, you have to bring yourself at least 60 million or more!

And that's just the advertising space, as for the agency rights abroad......

Recently, some foreign game companies have also contacted Chen Ping, and they also want to win the agency of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" abroad, but their goal is only the agency of a certain region or a certain country, and Chen Ping has always been noncommittal.

In fact, in Chen Ping's heart, the agency of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" abroad is also the top priority!

This is related to the subsequent development of the series of games "Plants vs. Zombies", and the agency will be split and handed over, and the benefits will indeed be greater in a short period of time, but it is not a good thing for the future development of the game "Plants vs. Zombies".

In Chen Ping's heart, this game will develop a series of derivative products in the future, and even a few years later, it will also develop mobile games, etc., if the agency is dispersed and handed over, when the follow-up products are launched in the future, there are too many troubles!

It is even very likely that it will cause irreparable damage and impact on this game brand!

Therefore, in order to be foolproof, Chen Ping still wants to sell the entire agency rights now!

In addition to Huaxia's internal and foreign game agency rights, it is directly sold to a company and a long-term cooperation contract is signed!

In this way, although the revenue will be much less on a single game, in the future, when other versions of the game "Plants vs. Zombies" are launched, it will save a lot of trouble!

For these things, Chen Ping has already considered them.

He knows very well that in the shopping mall, we must take one step, look at three steps, and be far-sighted in order to be the way to long-term development!

Although Chen Ping is just a novice in business, he has a good grasp of these things!

Recently, within Guangyu Technology Co., Ltd., there is no intention of starting a project in the area of online e-commerce, but the company's second game has begun to be put on the agenda.

Chen Ping spends most of his busy time discussing the development of the second game with Xue Mingtao from the game development department.

Xue Mingtao has also started to get busy recently.

Although he had just joined the company, Chen Ping gave him an extremely important task.

Hiring!

Chen Ping's original request to Fengxiang Headhunter was that the manager of the game development department needed to be able to recruit a complete game development team on his own.

Xue Mingtao naturally meets this requirement, but it will take time.

Most of those mature game development technicians already have companies where they work, and it's not so easy to poach people.

Although Xue Mingtao has a good reputation in the game development circle, but this kind of thing is not as simple as imagined, at present, there is no successful digging of people, but Xue Mingtao has contacted many people, and now they are in the period of negotiation and persuasion.

Xue Mingtao also knows that although what he is doing now does not seem to have much to do with game development, but is poaching people everywhere like a headhunting company, it is very important for the future game development of Guangyu Technology Company!

This is also one of the reasons why Xue Mingtao looks at Chen Ping differently!

Game development is not so simple, there are not many mature game developers, and only the people in the circle can know who has excellent technology and whose ideas are more outstanding.

If the recruitment of technical personnel is really completely left to the headhunter to do, I am afraid that the person who is found may not be able to be qualified for the future game development work!

Only the manpower that Xue Mingtao found himself can use more freely!

So when Chen Ping made this request, Xue Mingtao was interested in such a small company that had just started.

In his opinion, Chen Ping's decision is definitely made by insiders, and at least he must have a certain experience and vision of game development to achieve this.

Otherwise, if you change to another person, I am afraid that the matter of recruiting technical personnel will be directly handed over to the headhunter company.

Xue Mingtao, on his side, was contacting one technician after another, and at the same time, he was also discussing with Chen Ping the development plan of the second game of Guangyu Technology Company.

Xue Mingtao naturally has his own ideas for the development of the second game of Guangyu Technology Company, but after discussing it with Chen Ping a few times, he suddenly found that many of Chen Ping's ideas seem to be a little incompatible with the popular games on the market now, and there are extremely innovative ideas in many aspects!

At first glance, it seems a little unrealistic, and the ideas are also wild, but after Xue Mingtao calmed down and thought about it carefully, he was shocked to find that Chen Ping's ideas can even be regarded as an innovation in the game industry!

At present, the popular online games on the market, stand-alone games, and routines are almost the same, and even Xue Mingtao himself has been following the old path in terms of game development.

But Chen Ping is different!

Some of the in-game concepts that this guy came up with were completely ahead of their time!

It's completely different from what I think!

Actually, this is also normal.

If nothing else, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, the development is step-by-step, step by step, every once in a while, there will be a game that is innovative in a certain aspect, but it is by no means completely innovative, just a certain aspect!

But Chen Ping is different!

Chen Ping in his previous life was also a game enthusiast, although he was not a hardcore gamer, but Chen Ping also knew a lot about the development of the domestic game market.

It is not difficult for Chen Ping to put forward some innovations in the game industry that will appear in the future, integrate them into the game, or even directly propose a new game mode!

And this kind of thinking makes Xue Mingtao always shocked!

In Xue Mingtao's view, although Chen Ping's ideas have not really experienced the baptism and test of the market, there is a great probability that they can sweep the world with an innovative gameplay like the game "Plants vs. Zombies"!

At the end of the day, Xue Mingtao is just a game developer, and his interest in game development is stronger than anyone else's!

After Chen Ping put forward some ideas of his own, Xue Mingtao directly became a workaholic and began to do one game plan after another!

Even though these game plans were denied by Chen Ping again and again, Xue Mingtao was never tired of it, not only did he not have any complaints, but he became more enthusiastic.

However, Xue Mingtao didn't know that Chen Ping already had a certain plan in his heart, but he was still hesitating now and didn't take action.

Those popular games in his previous life, whether they were stand-alone games or online games, Chen Ping has played them, and after being reborn, he re-experienced the memories of his previous life, Chen Ping was also impressed by the routines of those games, and selected a few games that would definitely become popular and developed, which was also extremely simple for Chen Ping.

But the biggest problem now is funding!

Each different game requires different development funds and timelines, and some simple games may only invest hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and the development time is only one or two months, and the longest will not exceed half a year.

However, for some complex games, the investment will be as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions! The development time will take at least half a year!

Now, which one to choose for the second game to be developed by Guangyu Technology Company has become the biggest problem in Chen Ping's heart!
